Nice! I don't have setigera, but I do have an undescribed Oberonia from Andy's that they call Oberonia sp. "braided leaves", and another coming that they call O. sp "Laos". I don't know what color the braided one's blooms are,( and if it never blooms it's still a beautiful plant!) but the Laos is supposedly similar to setigera. It's both intriguing and frustrating how little info there is out there on this genus!

I'll get pics up in a bit, but yes the leaves are as braided as any Lockhartia. Most folks who see it think at first it's a Zygocactus, even a friend who keeps a few orchids!

I have setigera and it's gearing up for it's best bloom ever...7 or 8 spikes this year. And, it's still in a 2" pot.
I also have the braided one from Andy's but I thought it was ID'd as oligotricha. ??? ID or not...it's not doing as well as the setigera. I've struggled w/it for about 2yrs and it just doesn't look good.

The foliage on the pics of oligotricha look a little different from my plant, but I suppose that could just be cultural in nature. Until it blooms there's no way to be sure....... fwiw I keep mine in a paludarium that gets fogged solid for a couple hours a day. It's in a bright situation, but is shaded by being mounted to the underside of a piece of wood. I've only had it a few months, but it's definitely growing.
