    Love it! About how big does the plant get, minus spike?

    Thanks Dale. Sounds like something I could grow if I can find one.

    B. spectabilis is much nicer.

    I've thought about getting spectabilis, but I really like the ones with some yellow in the lip. naevosa is the one I'm most struck with but it doesn't seem to be in cultivation much, though I haven't asked around yet. I actually have a few Barkerias already, in response to your scandens post I should've said I want a few MORE of them. In looking at my tags I have scandens, lindleyana, and one labeled as lindleyi, which doesn't seem to be an accepted species name.

    "I really like the ones with some yellow in the lip."

    You'd probably like B. whartoniana, then.

    Yes! That is a very beautiful Barkeria. Does everything in the genus stay diminutive?

    I donno. I only have half a dozen species, but none of them are large.

    Do you have barkeria obovata? If so, may I have it?

    No, I don't have that one. If I did I'd give it to you, though.
