Excellent!
Since mine really produced the most/best buds after the weather turned really cool, I was wondering if yours also initiated buds following cool weather?

I have noticed that all my restrepia do seem to flower better in the cooler weather, and I associate them with autumn/winter flowering. I sometimes get odd flowers in spring/summer but they definitely do better at this time of year.

I just revcieved one of these, and I really didn't expect it to be so big. I managed to find it a spot in my terrarium, barely.

Hi,To give you a better idea of how big these can get here is mine about 3 years ago, it took a hit a year later and I have been trying to get it settled in to moss now. It is in bud now so I will have to see if it is starting to recover after its timeout! They are awesome and this one has amazed and opened my eyes to Restrepia!!  |

Thanks, it does make people gasp when they see it. I never knew Restrepia could get like this, I now keep more!
