A few Gongoras

[euplusia]

Gongoras seem to be a bit neglected here. Easy to grow under intermediate to warm conditions. Many of them are winter growers. Do not overwater when the new growths emerge.

Amazing collection. Don't think I've seen most of these.

I have never even heard of these.. very pretty!

Very cool flowers. They look like littl dragons!

*sigh* I love these "little dragons in flight" -- one of my favorite genera. Unfortunately for me, they tend to get rather large for my space and the fact that the spikes are pendulous is a problem in my apt.

Like Paul, I love Gongoras and can't grow them because of their size. I miss my old plants!

Thank you for posting yours Euplusia! You're right about these guys being under represented here on OB and in collections as a whole.

What a great collection -thank you for sharing. I just have the more common galeata, but it grows well for me mounted in a greenhouse. I'd love to find one of those truncata or gracilis. Mini stanhopea.
