My pleurothallis blooming
 

:hello

I adore the little pleuro's and the wacky little plants with some weird looking flowers ( ok so some varieties you seriously need a magnifying glass just to notice) the little flowers.......

So, other than my little collection of Restrepias (5 or so):yikes:, i was visiting a orchid grower roughly 3 months ago, browsing around his masdevallia growing area, i came across a little pleuro.(truncata i believe) Well as to keep my orchid addiction in tact,:blushing:, this little guy went home with me....:biggrin:...

straight into my little home- made cool house (well an attempt at a cool - house anyways :rofl: and just a short few months later, i noticed something happening....:)..... flower spike :bowing.......

exciting stuff:D......so here's a few pic's i had taken...

Ooh, pretty one. Love how the flowers lay down the centre of the leaf like that.

Spectacular blooms, I was raised in N. NJ (Ridgewood). What conditions does this variety of orchid like? Water, light, etc.

Thanks for sharing,
Larry

Nicely done, good for you.

Love those pleuros..aren't they fun

Unique plant...its amazing to see how it cradles its blooms in its large leaf...

awesome! what charming little blooms! :wtg:

Thank you for your comments.... much appreciated.. :cheer:.

denvervet : i just chucked my little plant in the cool house and it's just growing there...... i have not done much research on this plant yet, so not too sure what the desired requirments are...:hmm . :rofl: best i be doing some research very soon i think....
