Pic 1. I want to describe about the surprising discovery
of the roots of the variegata Vanilla planifolia from my orchiterrarium. I never learned, that the root system of this orchid is simply fantastically enormous, until it sees entire this beauty folded along the glass of mossy part orchidarium. These are the common form of vanilla, twisted around the branch of filbert, into the height of approximately 45 cm, against the background of vanilla the neighbor, which blooms in September already every year, are more regular than clock, beautiful, Paphiopedilum Maudie.
Pic 2. It is now nearer to the roots
I thought that on the beginning, that to vanilla only the air roots are sufficient
Pic 3. We approach nearer
Pic 4. Cool root hairsprings
Pic 5. But here it as occurs in reality, simply the shock
It did not expect this violent increase in the roots
and immersion roots in vanilla, such type, only 2, that on the photo, and one more exists from behind. The fact that this precisely Vanilla planifolia, doubts there are none, because in this airtightly delimited substratum grows more than no one except flytraps, but already roots are completely different in them.
Pic 6. At night they leave to the surface
I begin to believe in reality of the fantastic story of Herbert Wells " The Flowering of the Strange Orchid"
Pic 7. Such they are the deceptive dearly modest overground rootlets
Pair of words about the vanilla neighbor Paphiopedilum Maudie
its surely vainlla being waited until flowering
Pic 8. Handsome in the complete bloom of the forces
Pic 9. The three-day bristle and the strong-willed chin
let me get this right
