Barkeria whartoniana

goods · Dec 21, 2015

Bought it from Tropical Orchid Farm this spring. Grown very bright in the terrarium in an empty net pot. Watered almost daily while roots are active and sparingly now that they've stopped growing.

This species is rumored to grow upon cacti in nature. Flowers were taken about a week apart.

I don't think they are difficult to grow..... Just make sure you give it dry winter rest.

Zach, very nice. I forgot to list the B. scandens, so.....

It's literally one of those 2" plastic net pots with nothing inside. I can take a picture later on.

Thanks Tom! I guess I'll have to research the scandens since you enable so well
