    An easy Pleurothallid to grow, if a little large!

    That's very cool! I've never seen this one before, though that could probably be accurately said regarding 90-95% of pleurothallids. How big does it get and how are you growing it?

    It really is very interesting. I too am interested to know how large are the flowers and the plant.

    The plant is approx.6-7" high,making a long spike (5-6" long) with many flowers, all lined up.The individual flowers are about 3/4" long.
    It has very hard,leathery leaves (hence the sp. name "tough leaf")

    I was thinking giant pleurothallis, so that isn't to unwieldy.
