Effusiella amparoana

[Leafmite]

Wow, that is a crazy one! I'm glad you posted it because I either forgot or missed the last post of it! Though, I'm not sure how I could forget that!

Thanks, Liana and Leaf. Always something new and different in the world of orchids isn't there?

[Polarizeme]

Especially the Pleurothallid Alliance. These are some of the most wonderfully strange flowers in the Orchid family. Kinda like that cousin everybody loves but no one wants to claim.

I like them all and they are always welcome at my house!

Very cool flowers. Makes me think of a Dresslerella, but I think it is kept apart.

[ronaldhanko]

They are both Pleurothallids but different genera, though this is also classified as Stelis pilosa.

I love the colors and textures of this flower. That fuzzy look is adorable.

Thanks, Bud. It's one of the jewels of my collection.

I love this one, great pictures as every Ron.

Love to see that whole plant shot, looking fantastic with all those flowers!

Thanks, Rosie. Want a piece? It keikis all the time and it's easy enough to pull a few pieces off. I understand the difficulty of sending them though:-)
