Warczewiczella marginata
Under the bench in my intermediate/warm house I grow some fans. Here at sunny hours the temperature stays more even and the humidity in summertime is a bit higher. But constant moving air to dry the plants after watering and spraying with fungizides is needed to keep the leaves healthy.
I love the (Cochleanthes or Warscewiczella or) Warczewiczella marginata. This species is considerably changeable with regard to the form and coloration of flowers. Some stunning types are found in Colombia.
I show 2 pics of a better standard type, which I grow for years.
One month ago I bought a plant with outstanding (in my opinion) coloration. It is labelled as a hybrid, and although it comes close to a superb marginata, the callus makes me believe that it is indeed an hybrid.

that third photo version is great. I have discolor which is really easy to grow but have also noticed that it prefers an 'airy' environment.

Thanks for sharing.  |

It was my intention to lead you into temptation.
Btw I noticed a pleasant scent on the marginata this morning.

Ha ha I knew it! If only I can remember how to spell it I just might find it.
That's awesome that it's also fragrant, well pleasantly so.
