Loefgrenianthus blanche-amesiae

[Roberta]

This is a charming little twig epiphyte. (Yes, it's in the Cattleya tribe) The flower is about 2 cm (1/2 inch), leaves are about the same size. The name is bigger than the plant. It grows shady and damp, outdoors (lows to the mid-30's F) The Baker culture sheet in Orchidwiz gives the temperature range of its habitat as 25-93 deg F. So it's a lot tougher than it looks.
