INCREDIBLE. My absolute favorite terrestrial (see avatar photo ) and just when i thought there was no way to grow these in pots. I really would love to hear what your secrets for success with this are.

Finding these jewels in the wild is the highlight that day. I don't think it gets better than these in Northeaster USA at least. Congrats. I never thought anyone was growing these. Are you still responding to requests for information?

I wouldn't say that there is "no way to grow these in pots"...

I'm more inclined to say that we do not understand them enough to break through the barrier.

They are quite cute. I love these orchids.

Many years ago I came across one of these blooming at the edge of a small stream in heavy moss. I had almost stepped on it and was so glad that I did not. I got a picture of it even though at the time I had no idea what it was called.
