    Default Pleurothallis pterophora

    Flowers are fragrant and the leaves naturally have those big purple spots.

    Very nice and I really love the spots on the leaves. Is this a difficult one to grow?

    It needs to dry out slightly between waterings, otherwise it is an easy one to grow.

    Absolutely gorgeous! I thought Pleurothallis must be constantly moist, well - obviously not all.

    Branka, most of non-pleurothallids people think that way about them. Cool and wet condition actually is a death sentence for many of them.

    How strange with the spots like that on the leaves.

    I like the showy blooms, but I kill pluros way to fast to try one of these.

    Cheers,
