I want to see the orchids you bought, if that's alright? please and thank you!
I haven't received my own tiny orchids yet, but: a list of what was ordered, part 1!!! With reference pictures!
Zootrophion alvaroi: this is as open as the flowers get! Very cool! More brightly colored than many other options in the genus, although I was tempted by Zootrophion griffon based off of name alone.
Masdevallia excelsior: one of two Masdevallia species, very lovely! The idea was maximum orchid floral shape diversity.
Aerangis hyaloides: a Madagascan native! And a delight!
Trichoglottis pusilla: should be fragrant, like cherry chapstick or cherry cola! Will need to be very high up in the terrarium right under the lights.
Specklinia (Pleurothallis) grobyi: incredibly tiny! Highly recommended as a starter terrarium orchid! Cute little leaves!
Sigmatostalix (Oncidium) graminea: Not sure how it'll do in the terrarium, but I had to try!
Scaphosepalum ovulare: Again, this is a fully open flower! Like little eggs!
Restrepia dodsonii: A tiny, beautiful alien! Should do very well in a dart frog vivarium.
Restrepia brachypus: A tiny, beautiful, stripey alien! That cost under $6, I had to try it.
Porroglossum dreisei: These remind me intensely of the North American wildflower steer's heads, which I have never had the luck of seo, despite being wildly unrelated. I just love how the flowers look like little creechurs
More to follow, dear friends!
