This is one of the largest Pleurothallis as it's name implies. The flowers are approximately 4"" long. In this instance, the leaf had 2 blooms, I've not seen this before. Most of the time they will bloom, drop and then rebloom. This large plant has been blooming since March



Lip detail, just fascinating!

Thank you Nikkik. Lynn, Ordphien, NivenJ and Random Gemini for your kind comments.
This plant has put out 4 new leaves this summer so far. I can't wait to see it bloom next Spring!

Excellent!!

I know this one gets really tall/big...any chance we can get a pic of the whole plant w/something in the pic for size reference? I'd be really interested to see that...I'm sure I'm not the only one.
