This little beauty is blooming in vitro

Such bright color! It looks very happy!

That is amazing.

That's rather astonishing! The bloom reminds me somewhat of tolumnia.

Nice, Eliseo. How long did it take approximately from flower to flower (1 generation)?

 

[Ozpaph]

Thanks a lot!

Nice, Eliseo. How long did it take approximately from flower to flower (1 generation)?

It flowers two times /year and keeps blooming for 2 to 3 months.
It took about 1.5 years to reach blooming size and it is 3 years old.

Thanks for the info, Eliseo, so you have been replating for 3 years? Does it grow better in the flask than outside?
Because of the fast generation time, some people think that this group (Erycina (=Psygomorchis) pusilla) can be a model system to study orchid genetics. I tried a couple related species, but I can't keep them for long.

Naoki they are very hard to grow outside but in vitro they grow very fast and quite easily. They need to be replated only 1 time / year.
I use for this species P668 @1/2 with 60gr/l of banana puree.
