    Default Kefersteinia pellita

    Took my 1st foray into cloud forest plants back in October and so far they are all still alive and most are visibly growing. These are my 1st flowers. I do wish I had mounted it though.

    This has taken three days to open and I'm not sure it is quite finished yet but the lip frill is much more defined now.
