Not to be outdone, the Australian entrant lol. I’ve heard people find them hard to grow. For me they are one of the easiest species.

This is a completely in-vitro grown plant btw. No wild plants here…

Very nice. Can you please advise as to your growing conditions and media used?

 

[Ozpaph]

well done.

It’s a small bark and perlite (50/50) with some sphagnum on top. I deflask them straight into this and put them out in the shade house. They’re perfectly fine with an Adelaide winter and rain. I water to the conditions, but usually daily in warm weather. Humidity is of course very low here being a dry climate. Same conditions as for micranthum and canhii, which grow right next to them.

Very nice. Now is this a compot or one fast growing plant?

What a lovely flower and impressive culture. Very nice to see it's grown so well.......compot or not.

I hope you’re producing pods….

It is one plant deflasked just on 2 years ago. Mind you it was the largest in the bottle.

Absolutely

Wonderful… looks like a lot of growths for 2 years out of flask.

 

[krisk]

Here is one still in flask. It even flowered last year!

Lovely! I so wish this species was legal!

The plants here are. In theory they could be legally imported.

Please go on? I don’t understand why seed-grown specimens aren’t.

 

[NYEric]

Ummmm.. Really? That does not make them legal.
Nicely grown, they are by no means easy.

Because all parts of a cites I listed species need to be obtained legally, including the seed. Seed derived from plants legally obtained would be legal. Mind you it’s all BS really. If they really cared about conservation they would stop people selling them by the kilo at markets.

I’m not sure I understand your post. These are flasked plants derived from material with CITES documentation. That makes them very legal.

 

[NYEric]

From where?

 

[krisk]

I’m not the importer, I couldn’t tell you.
