Stelis phil-jesupii

[naoki]

I got this from Equaflor-a. There isn't much info about this species. It was described by Luer in 2002 in Icones Pleurothallidinarum 24. I haven't gotten this volume yet, so I haven't confirmed the ID, so it could be a miss-ID. It is a small plant (leaf is 20-22mm x 4mm) and the diameter of the flower is <7mm.

Great photos. Thanks for sharing. We love Pleuros and now Bulbos.

What's your culture for this?

Linus, Equaflor-a lists it under intermediate. I'm growing it at a cool-end, and it seems to be happier in that way. It is about min/max of 55/70F. But it was ok during the summer, when it was 64/84F, too (just not to many flowers). It seems to be fairly ok pretty shady (probably less than Phalaenopsis).

That is really cute. It looks like velvet.

Yes, it has some short hairs, which gives nice texture. I didn't need glasses, but I need reading glasses in the last couple years. So I have to carry around my 10x loupe to enjoy these tiny flowers....
