Trt. Ollie Palmer

Met up with an old orchid friend I hadn't seen in five years at our local garden show. I saw a plant and thought at first it was a Psychopsis. Got me all excited. It isn't. So he gave me one to play with. I know nothing about it, but that's never stopped me before... Trt. Ollie Palmer.



I looked up the blooms, which aren't really to my style, but the foliage sure is. I'm going to presume it wants to be rescued from the bark mix it's in (other plants are probably whispering to it about my distinct issues with bark mixes). Looks to me like it's reaching out for transfer to semi-hydro...sure hope it likes the changeover.

PS And somehow I was magically able to post photos again. Must be a glitch in the matrix. WhoooHoooo!!

Nice roots WW.

I picked one up at an auction this past summer. Next time I go down to the shade house I'll take a pic and post it. I know absolutely nothing about these things so maybe we can learn together.

Beautiful plant, the flowers are the icing on the cake :-)

Here it is.

The species come from a very wide range of climates and sun exposure. Bud has posted his Trichocentrum carthagense a few times. It's worth a look.
