Dracula lotax

[Ross]

This is truly a miniature with leaves only 3-4 inches (10cm) and the main "face" of the flower only 1.5 cm. This one has such a forlorn look, that I was considering giving it the cultivar name 'Tears of a Clown'.

Oh, I love that! :clap: It does look kind of forlorn, poor dude. :rollhappy:

How about Dracula lotax "Prozac"?

Draculas are so cool with their 'faces' and that one is wonderful.

There are a bunch in bud on eBay currently but I don't think I can keep the apt cool enough. {Enabled!}

This one is in an orchidarium that gets to 80F in the summer. Cordelia Head of J & L Orchids says that this is one of the easier growing Draculas, and is suitable for window sill growing. My Dracula felix http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10258&highlight=felix is a bigger plant, but also easy to grow. It grows on a light cart without any special humidity. Both seem to do the best when watered daily and repotted yearly.

lotax and felix, thanx.

 

[SlipperFan]

That's really cool. And such a sad-looking face it is!

Oh no! Our OS is going to J & L Orchids at the end of June. I think one of these might have to go home with me! I have my Masdies in my basement on a grow-cart. I always thought the Dracs wouldn't do well here...Ut, oh...
