No, it doesn't. Occasionally a little morning fog, but that is not a requirement, I have seen this species doing fine in dry woodland.

Are orchids common? How do you mean?

Aerangis brachycarpa

When not in flower this species resembles A. confusa, though the leaves of A. brachycarpa seem to be more woody and a bit wider at the end. Here it gets a bit of early morning and late afternoon...

Never change a winning team; just a bigger pot with more of the same media. The basket will dry out more and the roots will get less light.

Tridactyle bicaudata

This species can flower twice a year, though in the first half of the year not as abundant as in the second half of the year. Strong spicy scent with range of about 3 meters, inflorescences all along...

Aerangis thomsonii

Strongly scented in evening hours, but can also be caught during the day. Flowers with ease twice a year. The present flush is more synchronized than earlier ones, I guess it got to do with some...

Aerangis confusa

This species flowers here about twice a year, but tends to skip when the previous flowering resulted in too many seedpods and therefore it is not common to see it in flower and having seedpods at...

Microcoelia moreauae in full flower

Stolzia repens carpet in flower.

This species flowers once a year, prefers a cool moist climate, doesn't like direct sunshine. In favorable conditions a single plant can cover square meters of bark of a tree.

Yeah, I now also belief it is the one. I have gone through the IOSPE Polystachya list a few times, but dismissed Polystachya parva for being too white and altitudes too far apart. The difference in...

Satyrium crassicaule seedlings

Small oversight, the species started multiplying a while ago and we only found out the other day. In the photo below two seedlings just next a Eulophia horsfalii.

Seed pods

The current A. ugandensis season is winding up. The best season so far, they never produced so many flowers, and about 1 in 3 developed into a seed pod.

Number of flowers

I take it as you mean with pollination the full process, i.e. from pollination up to capsules.

Flowers are a sink. And certainly the initial...
