I am coming to everyone with my orchid problem. On Sunday at the club meeting I was fortunate to win this little cutie in the raffle! My basket of orchids went first and the next 2 tickets that were picked were mine. I took this little Maxillaria-
I put a quarter in for size reference. It was labeled as Maxillaria sp.? Now in spite of my experience with orchids, I have only grown 2 Maxillarias that I can recall, tenuifolia and variabilis. I know, I didn't believe it was only 2 but it is!
I can say it is a miniature with slender pseudobulbs 1.5cm Long by .3cm. Wide topped by grass like leaves that are up to 5 cm long by .3cm wide. I just had to have it figuring it would be a great underlights candidate! The only problem is, out of flower it seems hopeless to ID. But I have the uneasy feeling that I know this plant.
Can any one identify this??
Otherwise I will have to bloom this little sucker, then I should be able to figure out what it is.
