Plectrelminthus caudatus

[JeanLux]

this is a species of a genera that I did not know until last saturday, when I visited the local orchid show in Merzig a small town near Saarbrücken in Germany. One of my main providers exhibited a plant of this species; in my opinion the best and most unusual blooms of his display! So I ask him if..., and yes, he had a 2nd plant, not as perfect as his exhibition plant, but nevertheless.., it went home with me!! It is an african angraecoid!

yes, you are right Rudolf, but in fact this was not the plant I had in mind: I went there to get my plants that I had ordered at Currlin Orchideen (Paph St. Swithin, Paph. wardii with bud, Paph. Woluwense, and several var. of Catt. intermedia) Jean

Sounds as if you made a good haul, congrats and good luck with the new plants.
