lepanthes telepogoniflora
My favorite come-back orchid. I bought it as a very small plant, and babied it to blooming size. Then, in less than 2 days, the plant had only 1 leaf left, no flowers, and a few stumps. It had been decimated by snails and aphids! It has taken almost a year, but now it's thriving, and I'm watching it like a hawk!

A magnificent flower considering the pest ordeal it went through. I am envious of your success with overcoming pests. I've lost more Jewel Orchids and Masdevallia flowers to slugs than I can count.

Beautiful! I really like this one. With the color and shape it reminds me of a beach umbrella! Thanks for sharing and nice save!

Again: thank you all! I'm falling more and more under the spell of lepanthes. Too bad that so many of them are cool growers.

Lovely blooms. Very high on my wishlist. Good job battling those slugs and aphids. I've had to deal with tiny snails before.
