From Columbia - one of the easier and most spectacular Lepanthes:

Wow, that is really something else. Like a metallic sheen. Very nice satellite looking orchid.

Thanks, Tindo. It's quite easy to grow.

Wow, that is beautiful! Where did you get it? Lepanthes are very hard to come by here in Canada. Fortunately Ecuagenera comes here quite frequently now. Can you tell me how you grow yours? It's going on my wish list!

I don't remember where mine came from, but I think Ecuagenera has it. I grow it mounted on a piece of tree fern, fairly low light and cool. The long spikes (they starting flowering when they're short but get very long as they continue to produce flowers) almost require a mount.

Thanks Ron.

You are most welcome - hope you find one.

Ezil, Ecuagenera has it listed, but according to their website it is not available at this time. Marni Turkel has it on her list as well, but marked as not available. Can't find anyone else who has it listed.
