Here's the one that's currently flower for me.

amphirion,
What is the plant in the right hand top corner with pink flowers and the one the left hand side middle with red flowers?
They look to have large flowers to plant size.

One of my favorites Pleurothallis sigmoidea, this plant has a darker flower than the other one.

Here is one of my favorite plants, I have yet to catch it in bloom because the flowers are very short lived. I have checked it in the morning with no signs of spikes and that night it had a spent flower.

A name might help...Diplocaulobium tentaculata

This is one of my two orchids that I have which is blooming. I am not sure what species it is, someone gave it to me a while back. I really like the flowers though, and it has two spikes. If anyone has an idea, I'm sure it's rather common or a hybrid or something, but let me know.

Here is a mostly closed Bulbophyllum pardalotum, this one opens up in the morning and closes in the afternoon. Mine starts to close about noon. Hopefully I'll catch it in the next few days in the morning when its fully opened. This is in my opinion one of the must haves for indoor growers.

This one is probably already up so here is a repeat. Another in the must have list.
Pleurothallis brighamii

Now thats one I need to get, what temps are you growing it in? I've never tried any of the Lepanthes. If you get an extra piece around next spring we need to work something out .

 

[amphirion]

@RSS: it's a goodie aint it? it's growing in shade---highland conditions. that's pretty much it---the moss is kept constantly wet.
