Neocogniauxia hexaptera

[tenman]

This is a first flowering of this for me. I have flowered the other species in this 2-species genera, Neocaugniauxia monophylla, every spring, and it should be blooming in another month or so. This plant was a gift from a kind grower, a division from their plant two years ago. The flower is now 1 1/8" (2.9cm) across on a tiny plant.These are 'twig epiphytes' and are mounted on sticks with just a small dab of sheetmoss. I keep them in front of the cooler in the warmer months and they are misted to soaking once daily. They get near-cattleya light part of the day, a bit less the rest.

What temp range do you grow these in? I wonder if they would do well for me here.

Absolutely lovely! What alliance is this plant in?

They were thought to be in the laeliinae but recent DNA studies show an affinity with the pleurothallids
