    My old Dracula gorgona plant. Its been with me for 12 years now and produces flowers constantly over the year. Grown intermediate in a EpiWeb hanging basket the whole time.

    The side wiew pictures shows the flower habit with totally horizontally leveled flowers that acts as a umbrella for the small fungus gnats that are attracted to the mushroom smelling and looking labellum.

    Those are stunning photos of a beautiful species.
    Do you know what the natural pollinator is?

    Very cool! 12 years is impressive, I think my record with a Dracula is about 12 days...
