Lepanthes telipogoniflora!

[Ordphien]

Finally! Been coveting this orchid for years. Never thought I could grow one.
Not only did it grow, but it bloomed!
So proud of myself. I can't grow an oncidium, but I can grow this!

Five new growths, three spikes, and one bud later!

This is, imo, one of the easier Lepanthes species to grow.

They are really cool.

This is a really interesting plant and bloom Ordphien. Are you growing this plant in a terrarium? It looks healthy and pretty. I bought a Lepanthes years ago, it promptly died so I have stayed away from growing them. Ironically, I can grow Masdevallia easily.

Great growing and photography! This is one of my favorites too. I was given a plant with one leaf last October and now it has seven. I am hoping for blooms soon.

You should give lessons on rescuing orchids Nikkik! Your plants always seem healthy and beautiful---at least the ones you've posted.

Very nice blooms! This has been on my wish list for a very long time as well.

This is by far one of the easiest species to grow amongst the genus Lepanthes.

Lepanthes in general are very touchy plants, but this is by far, one of the best Lepanthes for someone getting into orchids in the genus. It is tougher and grows faster than some of the other Lepanthes available.

Thank you! I'm in complete agreement. I think this plant is easy in general.

It's so stunning in person.
I am. I have a thread about the terrarium in the miniatures show and tell section.
Try again! This particular species is incredibly easy.

Thank you! I wish my phone took better photos lol.
One leaf! Wow.
I hope you get blooms soon! Mine started throwing spikes before the new growths were even really done.
