My first Pleuro! I got this one sometime in February (I think) and it has rewarded my with a TINY flower. I know the plants are small but I was not prepared for such a tiny flower! Very cool! Anyway, enjoy!

It's a cutie Steve.

Very cool, thank you!

I love Restrepias -- their flowers look like bugs. Congrats on the bloom!

Very nice Steve.... congratulations.... and welcome to the PLeuro World.... It´s a big world!!!!

Beto,
Now that I think about it, I got interested in Restrepia after you posted pics of one that you had collected (9 months ago?) and were not sure of the name. Before that I had never even thought about Pleuros. Your pics changed my mind. Thanks!! :bowing

Good job photographing the very small flower!
Mine is blooming now also...

I've not seen pics of this genus until today and I agree they look like bugs. A pic someone else posted from a side view really looks like a grasshopper.

I love the look of them, it's really cool to see new ones. :cheer:

Thanks! So where are the pics of your little guy?:biggrin:
