Lepanthes calodictyon

[RosieC]

I had forgotten these pictures of a great healthy looking Lepanthes calodictyon.

I bought one just a couple of weeks after this was first posted. Mine only has 4 tiny leaves, but it flowered a couple of days ago I haven't managed to get pictures yet what with it being so tiny.

Love to see that one with two flowers on the leaf again!

Great to hear it, Rosie! I love this species. It's the least temperamental of the lot for me!

Duane,

Do you grow this on one of your famous tree fern blocks? And, how much light do you give it?

Wow! well I noticed this morning that three of the four leaves have buds (the previous flower has faded but that leaf has a new bud) and the fourth and youngest leaf has what looks very much like a tiny spike growing flat against the leaf... so that may flower as well soon

I actually think this guy might like me. I have no idea what I'm doing with it really but I'm really pleased

Looking again at your picture above I've noticed something. Mine has much rounder leaves (yours look more oval) and I think based on the scale of your thumb that the leaves on mine are a bit smaller as well.

I'll really have to try and get some good pictures of mine at some point.

Please do!
There's some nice variation in the species - I saw one with very dark veining at Ecuagenera, and they have an album as well with two-toned pure yellow flowers and dark-green veining in the leaves.
