Porpax ustulata
 
4 Attachment(s)
To my knowledge this is the plant called Porpax ustulata in bud.

I've had this little guy for about a year now.

I apologize for the bad images. I don't have a macro lens on my camera. I also apologize for them being tiny (I guess I should've resized them before saving :().

Once it blooms I hope I can get a better shot of it.

I plan to pollinate this guy.

I also added pics of the colony.

the bulbs are very much alien looking. i think i don't have guts to have them... so scary to me!

very cool pbs! Remind me oa bit of nutmeg/mace seeds. How big is the plant?

Oh, it's a tiny one. :)

I'd say the largest pseudobulbs are a little over a 1/4" or 7 mm. The smaller ones are a little under 1/4" or 5 mm.

The bud has just turned orange with red-orange stripes. It may have split a little a couple days ago.

I'm a waitin'... :evil:

When the leaves are nice and big, they can be about 1/4" each, it's bifoliate.
