Scaphyglottis radiata - MINI!!!
Greetings -
This is kind of a weird story; I bought this plant at a show several years ago. It has grown well, and the plant itself resembles very fine St. Aug. grass; growth habit like Maxillaria, with one growth coming from the top of the previous one. At a show a couple of weeks ago, I talked to the same vendor (who had others for sale of this), asking if he knew what the flowers looked like, when it might bloom, etc. He said he didn't know, he'd never seen it flower.
Well, punchline: just took photo with +10 macro of what has got to be the flower - I suspect the vendor just couldn't *see* them!
And a question: I haven't been able to find this species listed anywhere; even googling produces not a single hit. Does anyone have any knowledge of this? Synonyms, etc.?
Enjoy the photos - flowers are just about 3mm across - magnificent, aren't they?
Regards - Nancy
