Maxillariella vulcanica

This is a relatively recent acquisition, but it quickly settled down. It's been flowering for 3 months or so. It is kind of cute. I purchased it from Mundiflora. I used E-M1 in-camera focus stacking for all photos.

This one is very interesting. I like it

Very nice, is it fragrant?

I don't think so, but my nose isn't so great (especially in the allergy season), but I'll try another sniff.

I have a tenuifolia and variabilis each mounted on tree fern and they both have such a wonderful fragrance.

great photos.

great photos.

Agreed. The detail is amazing!

Interesting how yellow the leaves are. Does it require high light?

That's a very intriguing flower. I empathize with allergy
season...the pollen count here is astounding. Everything is
covered with yellow stuff.

Sweet!

Max sanguinea also has a very nice fragrance.

Too cool, I didn't know this one yet!!!! You are really looking for the 'specials' !!!! Jean

Very interesting growth habit. Do all the new growths develop bulbs eventually?

Just got back from Anchorage. It wasn't a good trip, which included a visit to emergency room...

Interesting how yellow the leaves are. Does it require high light?

Dot, I'm growing in fairly dim light. Maybe slightly more than Phalaenopsis. But I don't know well about the culture of this species yet. The leaves are fairly yellow, but the lighting might be exaggerating it in the whole plant photo.

I'm thinking that I need to do the allergy training shots... This year was especially bad, but I feel like that it is getting worse every year.

I like to try something I don't know much about!

I haven't grow them long enough, so I don't know yet. The new growths under my care are mostly the ones without the pseudobulbs now.
