Restrepia guttulata

[Salixx]

This is a slow growing Restrepia in my experience thus far however it is a reliable bloom. Compared to my other couple of Restrepia species, this one is the champion in bloom longevity. The other two (trichoglossa and brachypus) only get a about a week out of the blooms before they drop but this one's have lasted 6 weeks or more.

I grow it s/h in an 'unheated' room with the other cool growers.
