That is very unusual, and the pictures are beautiful and crisp too. (I really need to pay a bit more attention to taking my pictures)

Beauties!!!! (that I killed some of ! Do you have a special growing tip?) Jean

 

[Erythrone]

Not really Jean. It has been grown for a while a mix or NZ Sphagnum moss and coarse perlite. It was in that mix when I bought it last winter, I repoted in the same mix in spring. The grower told me to water often. I give it low light, intermediate temps (cooler last winter, min 13 at night). Maybe less water in winter. High air movement.

It was not easy to take a decent picture of this plant since the flowers look at the floor and since the light is not very good in the living room. I usually use a tripod indoor but not this time because my tripod was too tall. I decided to use the stab. fonction of the lens, to select ISO 800 and to crawl on the living room floor....

True dedication! Only time I crawl on the living room floor is after a couple too many scotches!
