This is another Dracula species that has been in flower for a while now. It is well adapted to the hot summer we have. Also a sequential bloomer, it keeps giving flower after flower on the same stem for months. This species' flower is small and kinda bell-shaped, but interesting anyway!

I have always found it amusing that Drac flowers usually look like they have a little face staring out at us.

Very cool flowers, love these ones.

I have never seen one before so it's great to see for the first time.

A cute little peek-a-boo flower. Fun.

Very humid and shaded environment, Christina. Most of mine are planted in sphagnum, have no restriction to air movement and are watered every day. Important thing is the water quality which must be almost free of dissolved salts.
