Diodonopsis erinacea

[slipperfreak]

Syn. Masdevallia erinacea. I am very excited to have this in bloom. I bought it this March, and it had finished blooming not long before that. I am actually surprised that it is blooming already; I thought there would be quite a learning curve for me because I do not have previous experience with Pleurothallids.

I couldn't get any closer to the bloom but at least it's in focus. The flowers only last 7-12 days but are produced in great abundance. It is a miniature for those who aren't familiar with it.

For some reason the image doesn't show... I'll try this again. I realize now that this should have been posted in the miniatures section...

Really cute one

The first pic is showing for me by the way. Also I can move it to the minatures section if you want me too, but 'Orchids in Bloom' is just a valid a place for this post.

No that's okay. Thanks though!

Is it any wonder that there is such an interest in growing orchids? Flowers like yours are very inspiring.
