Unexpected CCE

[MorandiWine]

I entered this plant at our local show to help a friend fill holes in his display. Didnt both checking the record to see if it would get any sort if award, its not a slipper so why bother ;-). LOL. Well one of the judges pulled it and it was judged. The rest is history. Almost every leaf (~80-90% of them) either had a bud or flower.
Lepanthes calodictyon ‘Dana Lynn’

Give us some culture tips?

mount with NZSM and treat it like a besseae. Literally growing right next to a bunch of bess seedlings. Same water and ferts (often) same light and temps.

Tyler, your Lepanthes caught us all by surprise. We don’t see many at our JC. All in all it was a good day. Your CCE, a CCM, an FCC, and some AM awards. Not a bad day to be a judge.

Wow, that is really nice. Well presented, too.

Congrats! This plant has been well-judged and well-deserved. I used to have this species in my collection and it was my favorite...about the same size as yours too.
