Macroclinium manabinium

This thread got lost in the server change-over.
I love the name, and the tiny flowers are a bonus! The flower cluster is just over 1" wide.

Do you know where they come from?

From orchidspecies.com:
"Found in Western Ecuador near the coast in tropical dry forests at elevations around 300 meters..."

Hmm, then I think I have one here that someone brought me from North Peru. Never seen it flower but foliage looks the same. It is a pretty little plant.

Indeed it is, with emphasis on "little." :wink:

Very nice! Could you shed some light on your culture please. I have this species but it hasn't done much in terms of growth and I would love to see it bloom some day.

Very nice.

I have a Macroclinium bicolor that will flower soon. In terms of folliage and flowers, I think they´re quite difficult to distinguish, but the inflorescence looks pretty different between both species ("fireworks" in M. manabinum and "cascade" in M. bicolor)

The second shot is perfect, Dot :clap::clap:

Thanks, all!

Mine is growing bright, but no direct sun. It's on the warmer side of my greenhouse (down to 60ºF in the cold months). I water it 3x a week in the colder months, almost daily in the warm months.
