Lepanthopsis astrophora 'Stalky'

[greenbean]

706 flowers and 880 buds?!!! I would not envy the task of counting those! They are so tiny!

After throwing out about 12 new growths, the next round of spikes is coming out! I've counted at least 15 so far, and it seems like there are more every time I look!

Since this little chid apparently is a blooming machine, I can see that I could quickly wear out it's novelty by posting every bloom, but it's still new enough for me now that I want to share. Speaking of sharing, one of the leaves has a root growing at its base, plus I cut off one leaf to intentially start a new plant, so I should have a couple keikis to trade soon!

You can see some of the spikes and the root in this picture.

I love it. I ordered mine from J&L, they're coming to our show in 3 weeks. I'm very much looking forward to it.

It really is a very rewarding plant. Hope you enjoy it, too, Ezil!

Bob, I would recommend this plant to anyone!

That's probably best. I should have a couple starts to trade at some point, but they are just rooting now and I don't know yet how long it will take to get them to a decent size. J&L will have much better plants than anything I can produce.

the onlky thing that worries me about j&l is that its mounted.
