Restrepia trichoglossa (spotted form)

[cbuchman]

This is Restrepia trichoglossa (spotted form). I really like this species. This one is mounted and kept moist. I have three restrepia and so far this is my most successful. It has had 4-6 blooms on it at a time. They last about a week. There are more buds ready to open and more spikes coming too. You can see it is a relatively small plant and the flowers are large for the size of the plant. That is a US Quarter for scale.

I like the coloring! It is so bright and beautiful!

And the picture doesn't do the colors justice. My Restrepia Iris is brown with chartreuse striping. These little guys are quickly becoming my favorites.

I like the minis too. Very nice one.

Oh Carrie...hope I can find more at the Rutgers show to add to what I have! Have had luck with these and some masd. so it's either my great culture or the cooler(?) weather is agreeing with them! Love yours.

Beautiful flowers! I've been looking around for smaller Restrepias.
