Orchids in Bloom: Platystele ovatilabia

[Bud]

such a tiny crystalline starshaped flower...I love the color...

[ronaldhanko]

Thanks for looking, Bud.

Such a fantastic little flower. I've never seen these before. It's wonderful.

[ronaldhanko]

Thanks, Kelo.

Wow, really does show the charm when you see them so transparent like that. Fantastic shots Ron, really nice orchid.

[ronaldhanko]

Thanks, Rosie. It is a charmer, isn't it.

Loved the pictures of a very well grown plant! Thanks Ron. How do you grow yours? I have only recently started with platystele and bloomed my oriziana (the flowers are too small for me to capture with my camera). I'd like to get some more.

Mine is mounted on a piece of branch which it almost entirely covers - about a 4-5 inch ball of plants and flowers. It's grown intermediate to cool and is up high in my case, near the lights.

Wow! Such a beautiful little flower! You really captured the lovely transparency of them.

Though you should teach it that sticking it's tongue at people is rude!
