    Acquired as a single-leaf division from a private collector in San Francisco. I couldn't stop looking at this thing when I was viewing his grow area. It's gotta be the coolest restrepia I've ever seen.

    Thanks guys.

    No new growth yet, Forrest, but I'm pretty reticent to dig around and see if there are new roots or anything.

    This popped up on the random photos. I am a Restrepia fan and I love this one. Anyone know what it is?

    it looks like a bit more split than usual for Restrepia iris

    After Piotr pointed it out, I was flipping through IOSPE, and it does loo very similar to R. iris. Does split synsepal (reversion to ancestral state) occur frequently in Restrepia? In Paphs, I have seen split synsepal (e.g. my P. purpuratum did it, and I think Ray posted P. phillipinensis with this), but they seem to be sporadic (next flower might become normal).

    I think it's a form of Restrepia schizosepala.
    Beautiful... Never have seen a Restrepia I didn't like!

    The current owner of this plant contacted me. He said Lisa Thoerle identified this plant as 'probably Restrepia iris'.
