Neocogniauxia monophylla

[tenman]

This little caribbean epiphyte is blooming late this year, usually blooming in the spring, but three inflorescences for the first time. Unfortunately my conditions have been less than ideal this summer so the flowers are all slightly misshapen. But I still like the bright orange flowers. The entore mount is barely 6" tall. I grow it cooler with a heavy misting daily in medium light levels.

Its sister species, Neocogniauxia hexaptera, bloomed for me the first time this past spring.

Nice, I guess I'll have to get it in the next space-making sale! :evil:

I grow it cooler with a heavy misting daily in medium light levels say cattleya or a little less.

Actually I will be taking off a division after blooming which I am sending to the person who sent me the other species in this genus. After that, it may be some years before there'll be another.

OK, but I know over time how this will work out...! :rollhappy:

Great species indeed, Tennis.


For Eric and those who are looking for this species, Marni Turkel has it available in flask. She can ship flasks oversea with Document also. She is listed at Orchid Mall under T and her ebay user name is mostlyspecies.
PS, I have no financial interest with her business...if this is not an acceptable post, you may delete it.

No problem with your post, Tom. Helpful, in fact.
