Beclardia macrostachya

[JPMC]

This is a first bloom seedling for me. It's only 9 inches tall and the fully open flowers are about 3/4 of an inch across. It's growing in a 4 inch clay pot in 100% osmunda.

Very cute, like little snapdragons. Culture?

I grow it next ro my cattleyas so they get a bit less light than they do but not shade. Temps are 85F in the day and 65F at night in the summer with winters about 10F cooler. It's fertilized with MSU fertilizer at 125-150 ppm weekly and misted not watered every other day in between fertilizer applications. It misted it once per week for a month last fall to initiate blooming.

Wow - an orchid I've never seen before! Thanks for sharing this little jewel!

I was completely unfamiliar with this compact Angraecum relative, but I think it just became a "must have". Where did you get it?

Wow. I absolutely love this orchid! Nice growing!

My biggest single complaint about the Orchid Board is that there are so many beautiful posts of orchids I'm not familiar with and I want them all. This one has just gone onto my official "Wish List".

As I recall, it was from Botanica Ltd.
