    The Stelis was purchased as hallii but I don't think it is. I don't know what it is. The flowers are only about 3 mm across. The next to last plant is Pleurothallis cylindrica. The plant is 8-9 inches tall but the spikes are very long (maybe 30 " now) and just drape over the top of the surrounding plants.

    Very nice Kelly. What are the three plants below the picture of the Vanda? Also, is that a Schoenorchis juncifolium in there?

    Thanks, Bill. Different monitors may display these in different rows so I'll list them all by row as displayed on my screen.
    Row 1: Restrepia cuprea, R. echo, R. muscifera, Scaphosepalum limae
    Row 2: Scaphosepalum verrocosum, Schoenorchis gemmata, S. juncifolia (wish it was a darker purple)
    Row 3: Sophronitella violacea, Stellis sp., Vanda hybrid (the S. violacea from you opened today. It is smaller but brighter)
    Row 4: Eria globiferum
    Row 5: Angraecum distichum, Appendicula elegans, A. ramosa
    Row 6: Bulbophyllum blumei, B. lasiochilum, Calanthe vestita
    Row 7: Comparettia falcata, Dendrobium goldschmidtianum (mine only has one lip ;)), D. lawesii (supposed to be red but it is more orange-red)
    Row 8: Dendrobium peguanum, D. toressea, Encyclia polybulbon
    Row 9: Epidendrum pseudepidendrum, Gongora histrionica, Rhynchostyllis gigantea with Laelia dayana
    Row 10: Lepanthes gargoyla, Lycaste cruenta, Maxillaria variabilis
    Row 11: Mediocalcar decoratum, Oberonia japonica, Ornithocephalus sp. (was supposed to be ecuadorensis but isn't)
    Row 12: Pleurothallis cylindrica, P. restrepioides

    Awesome blooms, Kelly! I'd be happy to get that many flowers in a year.

    Could your Ornithocephalus be estradae? The habit resembles my plant bearing that tentative ID. I'll see if I have any close-up photos. Did you get yours from Colombian Orchid Imports?

    Great diversity. Last weekend was confused to see Laelia diana in bloom at the local grower greenhouse - supposedly it is a summer bloomig species. And here it is again!

    Nathaniel, I posted this plant last year and was uncertain of the species then. https://www.orchidsforum.com/threads/ornithocephalus-i-d.12843/ And, yes it is from Colombian Orchid Imports.
    IOSPE shows O. estrade and dolabratus as synonyms but Kew shows both names as accepted. O. manabina is still a contender, too. IF the photo on IOSPE is correct then I would say that it is O. dolabratus. I will go with that name until I find out otherwise. Please let me know if you get a definitive ID on yours.

    I have lost track of numbers. I guess it is probably a little over 200.

    I've been inactive for years. Opened an OF email today and see your wonderful collection. So it is good that OF sends inviting emails of recent posts. I was introduced to Restrepias and other Andean species while volunteering with Ecuagenera for a year. The orchids grew like weeds along the roads especially Epis and Sobralias. Brings back many good memories of Ecuador!

    Savor, I hope you stay active with us. This is a friendlier forum now, IMO.
    Brent, the owner, is the one that puts out the email newsletter. I'll make sure he sees your comment.
    Are you still an orchid grower?

    That is a beautiful Sobralia. Looks like it is growing in a lava field.

    Kelly, would you be interested in a trade for a small division of the D. toressea?
