Default Ansellia africana

Here's this Ansellia flowering for the first time. It is a plant I've been growing since it was a very small seedling, not higher than 2 inches. The flowers happened to be more yellow than the other I grow, which has darker and larger chestnut stains.

Nice, Mauro. The ones I've seen advertised here in the US are the ones with more of the chestnut stains. Is this yellow one very rare or is it just not that popular in the

You know, Bingo, most of orchid lovers likes striking things, so I think this is not rare, only less popular!

Wow, yet again you take stunning pics Mauro.

That orchid is really nice. I love the colouring, those spots are just perfect.
