3 from Andy's orchids
I am going out of town for the weekend (what a time to get my new 'chids!) so photos of the Lepanthes flowers will be posted when I return. In the meantime, wanted to show off a bit, my 3 new orchids from Andy's Orchids in my terrarium.
From left to right:
G. fuscopunctatus (from the Illowa show... photos of it are up in the thread titled "From the Illowa show")
Lepanthes manabina
Lepanthes ovalis
Haerella odorata

Wonderful new orchids! I really liked all the stuff I saw from Andy's at the Pacific Orchid Expo. They had a ton of plants, and all of them looked great. What friendly and helpful people too  |

Thanks!
They are quite beautiful, really. The manabina seems to have gotten rather dry over the weekend but the other plants look totally thrilled with their new home.
Anyone with experience with Lepanthes is welcome (/begged) to give me any advice. I'm hoping that I can be successful with these and maybe in the future try propagation.

New bloom opened on my ovalis!
Lookie!
Now maybe I'm irrationally happy considering that I do have other flowers in bloom... but this is the first flower to have completely opened in my care. Yes, the bud was there when I got it... but none of my other flowers with buds have opened, and I was figuring that it would be a week or more at the very LEAST before any of the buds on this one would open... everyone has told me that Lepanthes are quite picky and easy to kill. I don't want to be too optimistic (ie get my hopes up) but I really, really hope this is a good sign.
I gave everything a good spray this afternoon, and just a few moments ago when I went to turn out the light I noticed this little beauty:
