Project Travelling Companion Advice...
 

howdy folks! would love people's thoughts/advice/opinions/cultural experience with any of the following which i'm considering as travel companions for my project plant:

Ornithophora radicans
Sigmatostalix costaricensis (prob. syn guatemalensis)
Pelatantheria insectifera
Psygmorchis pusilla

unfortunately, i'll probably only be getting one of em. :roll:

any thoughts'd be much appreciated! :bowing

Here is a thread from the show and tell forums about the http://www.orchidboard.com/community...-radicans.html, its a nice little plant and seems easy enough.

Don't have any experience with the other 3.

Make sure you don't miss the April specials Oak Hill Gardens, I didn't see them but my wife did.

I have Pelatantheria insectifera...you liked it when I posted it in bloom http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ectiflera.html

I thought of you when I saw it on Oak Hill's site :coverlaugh:

Mine is mounted, gets very bright light and misted at least every other day. It'll be every day once summer arrives.

Thanks RSS for linking to that thread...forgot about it!

Sue...how tall is that Pelatantheria of yours?? I know the flowers are tiny, but I didn't remember your plant looking so tall...

I thought every day was summer in Florida

The opening on this mount is only about 5 inches across, it's a small plant but is a rambler so it'll spread as far as you let it go ;)

There's Florida hot :whew

and then there's
"What the *^&#%^# is this"? Florida Summer

That's when the mounts and vandas get more than one shower a day

Encyclia (Pollardia) tripunctata
 

Here's another I'm strongly considering... Encyclia tripunctata (now Pollardia tripunctata). Anyone have direct experience with this guy?

Hmm...thanks for the info! Dunno how I feel about the rambling...

:rofl:

I am really no help here :rofl: But I love the thread! Good luck with your decision! ;)

Yvan, I think you and I have similar growing conditions. I have the Ornithophora radicans and it's doing well for me. Currently growing 2 new pbulbs. The guy I got if from has a specimen sized plant that was covered in blooms about 3 months ago. I grow mine like my Onc. alliance. Doesn't like to completely dry out.
