Hairy Toilet Bowl
That's the name we use for this orchid around here. It's Pleurothallis or Effusiella amparoana. I've posted it before but it's blooming again, so here it is again:

It's pretty easy to grow, Kim. It's listed as a warm growing species, but I grow it on the cool to intermediate without any problems. Mine's in a clay pot in sphagnum and gets watered every day. Blooms profusely in the autumn.

Beautiful photograph Ron !
this species is beautiful, if there was not a border to cross, I would be first in line to buy a division from you ! I've never seen it for sale in Canada  |
