Very weird and lovely blooms that are extra tiny. Sorry it's not the greatest picture, as said in another thread, my actual camera is MIA and my iPhone just can't match it in color and macro shots.

So nice. My only experience with this genus was trying to grow mucosum. Couldn't stop noticing the "wagging" lip which made me giggle. In the right set-up I'd try again tho.

I also have P. teaguei, which is growing but hasn't bloomed like this little guy.

I have found it relatively easy, however I am growing it in a terrarium which makes other aspects a lot easier. I plopped the plant down on a piece of wood, not attached, and it doesn't seem to care, though I think the roots have grown into the driftwood at this point. I do grow it on the cooler end of the intermediate range as well.

The buds are just as cool looking as the flower... I have to find my camera so I can take better pics of it!

This is a genus I'd love to grow. Sadly, my growing areas are all too warm.

Salixx, I hope your camera re-appears! Mine was stolen back in November, and the 10 days I was without one were excruciating!

Beautiful! Mine's just opened a flower now... wish it had as many spikes as yours, gosh!

I really love the leaves on this one too... beautiful striping...

This is considered on the more adaptable and warm tolerant of the genus for anyone interested...

Porroglossum dalstroemii Female
Default Still going strong

My little Porro is still blooming like mad. It currently has 11 spikes, that I can see. I go crossed-eyed trying to count them. Each spike bloom sequentially and not a single spike has browned and died, yet.

Here's some new photos! I found my actual camera but it seems the iphone still takes better pictures

Salixx, can you give us a point of reference about how small it is?
