#restrepia brachypus

[semianonymity]

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!

Restrepia brachypus ‘Fernbrook’: This easy care South American species produces whimsical 2” insectoid like blooms. It flowers twice a year, and would make an excellent addition to your terrarium. Currently offering these in spike. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfxXJgrU2A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Three restrepia brachypus keikis next to the mother plant, which is currently (and pretty much constantly) in bloom.

Something a bit different tonight.

Due to our days being so short that I have been leaving for work and coming back home in total darkness with the days being completely cloudy this past week or more, I haven’t got any new pics from the garden.

However, I’ve been enjoying the plants in my new orchidarium that I built for about a month ago. They have started to grow and this is the first one to flower in there. It’s a Restrepia brachypus. The whole flower is about 3-4 cm tall, the most prominent stripey synsepal being about 2 cm long. What a dash of colour in this darkness!

The holidays are here and I hope that I’ll be able to return to regular posting soon again.

Wishing you all an easy, colourful weekend!

These are two new additions to my collection. I basically geeked out over compact orchids, and brought home a bunch of tiny darlings like this restrepia brachypus (left) and ornithocephalus suarezii (right).

The restrepia was in bloom when I got her, and is done for now.

The ornithocephalus is fixin’ to bloom, actually. He’s supposed to have a bloom about as large as himself. We’ll see.

As with the others, I’m keeping them in semi-hydroponic setup. I didn’t repot the restrepia, but I water her from below, and let a bit of water stay in the cup to keep the humidity high.

The ornithosephalus was packed in sphagnum , so I had to repot him. I’ll have to do that again actually, when the new “pots” arrive. I’ll be using hard plastic cups, and will melt holes in them for drainage.
