lepanthes telepogoniflora
 

My favorite come-back orchid. I bought it as a very small plant, and babied it to blooming size. Then, in less than 2 days, the plant had only 1 leaf left, no flowers, and a few stumps. It had been decimated by snails and aphids! It has taken almost a year, but now it's thriving, and I'm watching it like a hawk!

WOW! the flower is way bigger than the leaves....the color and form is very pleasing to the eye....in fact it has perfect symmetry

A magnificent flower considering the pest ordeal it went through. I am envious of your success with overcoming pests. I've lost more Jewel Orchids and Masdevallia flowers to slugs than I can count.

Great recovery!

Gorgeous! I just can't grow these.

Beautiful! I really like this one. With the color and shape it reminds me of a beach umbrella! Thanks for sharing and nice save!

Superb. Beautiful photos, too.

this is one of my favorite lepanthes! great job!

Again: thank you all! I'm falling more and more under the spell of lepanthes. Too bad that so many of them are cool growers.

Lovely blooms. Very high on my wishlist. Good job battling those slugs and aphids. I've had to deal with tiny snails before.
