    Default Restrepia brachypus

    I'm spending the day getting things ready to move plants indoors as our cold rainy season kicks off tomorrow...I found this little guy blooming! I told Eric (eorchids) a while ago that I would post pics of plants that I am growing using his saucer method. This is the perfect opportunity!





    And a bonus just because it has exploded since putting it on a saucer...lots of tiny little spikes too but you can't see them. Scaphosepalum microdactylum-

    The heating season is starting here, too. Today I set up the humidity trays.

    Thanks y'all! It's not MY method. I must credit Eric aka eorchids for it! It's perfect for these plants!
