When I read the title I was imagining a scene, throwing meat to a giant plant... 
I need to go to bed.
Very cool flower and pictures!

Where are you buying these pleuros? Any favorite miniature pleuros? Any with interesting leaves?
Mostly from Ecuagenera, occasionally from Tarzane. I love the genus Lepanthes. And I think all their leaves are interesting haha
Thanks. Did buy from both. Hopefully J&L will be selling at NCOS show

Check with Andy's Orchids in CA also. In my last collection, I had grown quite a few pleurothallids(Lepanthes, Pleurothallis, Stellis, Restrepia, Masdevallia, Dracula.....just to name a few common genera from this group of orchids), and I had gotten some fantastic unusual plants from Andy P. over the years. Andy doesn't list all his plants, if you are looking for something special, you can always try your luck with Andy's Orchids.
Pretty common Restrepia brachypus
Less common Restrepia mohrii

Such striking colors! The mohrii reminds me of a dollop of molten glass about to be blown!
Yes I love how the spots in the mohrii contrast the sepals.
