Some random bloomings

Thanks guys. Paul, I dont have a fan in the tank...I dont regulate or check humidity besides keeping a piece of glass on top of the tank. As for temps, I dont check those either...living in NY my room temps are always in intermediate range so I never worry.

 

Scaphosepalum rapax..hard to get a good shot since the bloom is so heavy compared to the stem that it is drooping down.



Plant is quite far from the bloom

 

I think it must be light as this piece was from you. Interestingly enough, while not in bloom, the Dendrobium dichaeoides from you is also "morphing" as you can see the old more compact leaves are dying off, and the new growths are more thin and spread out.

 

That is very possible as I am only growing under a single regular shoplight (which should probably be replaced).

 

Some new ones...
Pleurothallis sp. Agua Verde, Peru..if anyone has any guesses on ID for this, let me know.


Cant take credit for these next three as I just went and hand picked them from J&L already in bloom.

Platystele pubescens



Pleurothallis segregatifolia



Salpistele parvula..not sure if its fully open or not

 

Yep, I think its been up for a month so far...having decent results at first glance, but I guess well really see in a few more months how everything else is doing. I moved about 1/3 of the plants in there, every week I move in another 3-4 plants. With some recent orders, it will probably fill up quicker than expected.

 

Yea, the brunnea blooms really well for me, and I really enjoy the flower on that one...I think I posted the bloom shot somewhere in this thread.

 

I just checked them now and it still looks like the photo. Hopefully tomorrow they will open up more.

Visually the brunnea leaves are about twice as wide as the parvula. Ill do side by side flower shots if I am able to.

 

Hi Tom, Here is the foliage shot side by side...brunnea on left, parvula on right.
