Fetid Acianthera aphtosa

[Rosim_in_BR]

Well, I only grow this because I was given it. It is fetid, it smells rotten egg and everything else that offends our nose! Argh!!!
But it is an orchid and then... have to keep it alive!

The flower looks like a little alien. To bad about the smell.

Very cool! Do you keep it outside or indoors?

Rosim, you are probably *not* the pollinator it wants to attract - like a nice fat fly!
You'll have to grow it like a stapeliad, and admire the blooms from afar!
The flower looks like it was carved from cheese!
I like it - Nancy
