Cute little mini...

Love it.

Wonderful! Looks great on the mount.

 

[OrchidIsa]

I love it too! Dot, you have so many I never saw before. Candy for the eyes!

 

[PaphMadMan]

Fantastic! How long do the flowers last?

Wow. Cute plant.

Not real long -- a couple weeks, maybe. But it blooms more than once a year.

They will send out(branch out) new spikes from the old spikes, so don't cut off the spikes unless they are dead. All species in this genus should be grown on mount and kept on dry side.

btw, you misspelled the species name.

Interesting! I've only ever seen M. manabinum available. Any idea where to find one of these?

 

[Ozpaph]

That's unusual.

Sweet little fireworks. Nicely grown.

Zach, check with Andy's Orchids. He might have a couple. I grow about 8 species and I found most of them at shows. Quite often, the south American vendors bring them to Redland show, FL.

Zach, Peruflora has it listed. They are coming to the US at the end of July (I don't know which show). It might be too late to pre-order, but they might be bringing them.

Thanks -- I didn't catch that. Now corrected.

I got mine from Botanica, Ltd. You might check with them to see if they have any left.

That's a fascinating little plant, Dot! Well done!
