Here's another - wonderful and weird.

These a super little plants - one of my favourites! Nice display you've got. It looks like one happy plant!

Ron,

That's another great one!

I really like the smaller, "weird" types of orchids. My wife, however, likes the Phals and big Catts (well, I like them too, but they're just not as "interesting"), so they get a lot of my growing space. Also, I don't do cool, which many of the Dracs, Masdies and Pleuros require. I just do what I can with the warm and intermediate growers.

Please keep posting yours. It's great to see them, and your photography is excellent too, so we OBers get a good look at them. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the compliment.

You know, now that I see your pic of it, it really does look like a bladder wort ready to suck up unsuspecting bugs.

Ron, while I am one to like the "different" orchid blossoms (especially the minis), I can't say I am struck by this one. Nice and hairy, but pretty weird (I guess that's what you called it!)

When I see all the different Pleurothallis and the weird flowers they produce (not argument with you, Roiss, on that one), it makes me wonder what weird insects pollinate them.
