    Default Lepanthes polytricha

    I am stoked this little guy opened. I thought for sure it had blasted as the bud was quite red. I am still fairly new at Lepanthes and I was told that red buds meant blast. hmm go figure.

    LOL! I really like Lepanthes, the only drawback imo is the flower size. I really wish they had big flowers.
