    I've never seen one in situ, so thank you for that. Not how I would have pictured it with moss on the trees. Mine need to dry quickly and die when I get too much moss. I think all sigmatostalix are worth growing.

    Thank you both!
    I will try to publish more In Situ pictures here.
    The In Situ plant was growing in a very dense, dark rainforest. I grew just a meter above the ground.
    They are for shure worth growing as the flowers are so unusual!
