My sweethearts... the lepanthes alliance ;)

[vraev]

Hi guys,

Its been over 3y since I got my sweetheart which I wanted for over 2y before I finally got it. LOL...

I love this baby sooo much

L. telipogoniflora. The one species to RULE the entire orchid family for me. The be all and end all. You know, sometimes u get a plant that you wanted for so long, but you start loosing the burning desire you had for it. For me...never..L. telipogoniflora is the one plant I would choose if I could only have one orchid.



another shot...



back in the day when I first got this...a member here known as littlemonkey or someone sent me a bit of moss that unfortunately dried by the time i got it. I don't if that is the moss which u see near the plant. But...I have two kinds of moss on this mount. No idea how...but I love them both. lol. Looks nice.

And a very very recent acquisition...just starting to grow...I was a bit worried about this baby.



L. calodictyon

Then...the most prolific orchid I ever had. Seriously....insanely fast plant in my collection. Especially with this being in a highland tank...this thing outpaces eveyrthing in my collection.

L. gargoyla



Don't know how to seperate that aerial leaf offshoot you see growing. Where do I cut it? how do I root it? would be nice as a trade . lol..for more lepanthes.. lol

Then...a foreigner in the alliance...also my first blooming

Masdevillia patula



And some foreign audience who are always 'mouth gaping' to see my cute little L. telipogoniflora

This is how they react.



They need to close their mouths...or flies may enter...(lol...they are actually waiting for that to happen. )

cheers,

varun

I love that first one. Reminds me of a satellite tv antenna but with beautiful colors and I think that I like the moss growing along it as much. Congrats on the beautiful blooms. I ordered 2 warm to intermediate growing Masdevallias. This is my second try. Let's see how that goes. Again; it's a beauty !!!!

Wow, love all of these. Love the little pitchers.

[silken]

Wow, what a nice picture show! They are all great to look at!

[vraev]

thanks everyone.

I love them! Where did you find the L. telipogoniflora?

[vraev]

All orchids are from ecuagenera. Its hard to get hold of L. telipogoniflora. Just need to keep a constant lookout. Very popular I guess.

What great minis. I love that first one, looking really good with so many flowers. L. calodictyon is another great one, mines seems to be always in flower and I love it's leaves.

I got mine from Ecuagenera last February. Both are growing nicely, and have me totally hooked. The telepogoniflora is in bloom, and growing new off shoots.The calodyction is gorgeous even when not flowering. I'll definitively get more (my fiskei came from j&l). Yours are just the inspiration I need to continue. Thanks for the beautiful pictures.
