Restrepia guttulata - two different
Here are my little roach orchid in two different color shades. I don't know exactly why, but this year the darker one has the flowers with the ventral sepals not fused. This is the first time I notice this.

Very nice! How bright do you grow your Restrepias and how wet do you keep their media?

Very nice, Mauro! And very funny too...never heard Restrepias referred to as roaches before.  But it is kinda fitting. |

I give them the same condition I give to my Draculas, Steve. Heavy shade, cold, good air movement, water every other day, light fertilizing.
