Mediocalcar decoratum

[Ron-NY]

Another mini currently in bloom for the second time this year. Prior to the flowers opening they look like candy corn. I received a small piece of a variegated one in trade this year. I am looking forward to it eventually blooming.

the plant is definitely cute... looks a bit like portulaca from afar...

 

[Ron-NY]

the leaves are very much like Portulaca

 

[NYEric]

That's a good size one. can you show the whole plant please?

 

[Ron-NY]

Eric, I may have one on the home computer but I am in work will post it tonight for you

 

[SlipperFan]

Thanks, Ron. This reminds me of candy corn.

Eric here ia whole plant shot. Growing in a treefern pot. I had purchased a large plant of it a few years back as a gift to the person watching my dog while I was on vacation. A piece broke off and I kept that part.

Neat - it looks like a skinny leaved lipstick vine!

 

[NYEric]

Thanx. I would like to see the large one!

A piece broke off and I kept that part.

As in like a cutting?

 

[Ron-NY]

Ed yes. This species has aerial roots and cuttings work fine. Some vandaceous orchids can also be reproduced from cuttings. Most Bulbos too and I can think of a few Pleuros and Zootrophions that cuttings will work with. Dockrillias also. I presently have cuttings of Bulbo lasiochilum and vaginatum and Maxillaria variabilis in the mail in a trade. Also Vanilla. Most climbing orchids can be reproduced by cuttings I would think.

Thanks for the info.
