Platystele umbellata
Platystele umbellata - warm to hot growing species, the blooms are in clusters and reminds me always raspberries. Growing outside at the balcony, one potted one mounted, shade, and keeping moist.

Fabulous, but I can't lie, I am having orchid envy! I had preordered this one in April and it wasn't available when I picked up my order, so I still don't have one! And you're right, it reminds me of raspberries too, which I am very fond of.

Sorry nikkik, I have few of them, I did get one from Colombian vendor Andrea and also I bought one at the show in May from some California vendor, can't remember who it was though :-( I think Seattle has them, maybe Andy's ? |

Love it. I can see what you mean about rasberries, but my first thought was it reminded me of a Hoya umbel.

Same, although raspberries are probably tastier 
Beautiful platystele! I've thought about getting this species in the past, but haven't done much research as of yet. How large is your plant? I can't remember how big these guys are...

Many thanks everyone. John, it is really small, maybe some 2-3 inches max in length :-) |
