I wonder if Laurel is around, she did so well with this plant!
Pleurothallis brighamii - this was such a tiny starter plant, I am very happy it is putting on growth and is seemingly blooming forever. ( at least the whole indoor season now)
Little flies?

Platystele umbellata has its best season yet
Thumb of 2011-05-02/Ursula/980e71

And I think this is Angraecum didieri. Somehow it made its way into my collection, I believe it was a freebie from Eric Michel ( formerly with Hoosier Orchids) at the SEPOS and it came without label.
Eric had sold these as mounted on Oystershells!! I thought that was interesting. And I was very surprised to see it blooming already!
I gently freed the long spur, it was really stuck.

Little flies is a great one, but I must buy that platystele! I always want it when you post it. It's a specimen size I think, yes? Perfection. I have yet to bloom an angraecum-that's a beauty!

Macroclinium manabinum today.

Kathy, the Platystele umbellata is a good size by now. Not sure if it is specimen size....

Oh, Ursula that is a great crop of raspberries on your Platystele umbellata and Kathy, the diaphanous blooms of Macroclinium manabinum are very intrequing.

Love that word "diaphanous." Exactly right! I wonder if it will be open when the second spike blooms. Ursula, I got the Dendrobium dichaeoides at the Amherst Orchid Society sale from J & L because the owner of Black Jungle, who was there, recommended it.

Thanks.

Kathy, I like it very much.
So do you think mine is then makoyanum too? Early in this thread - It was bought labeled as such, but there seems to be some confusion.

Just tried to read up on it - I just saw some links on the Orchidboard, clicked on one and got all sorts of strange links/stuff opening on me. Forget that one....
