Polystachya pubescens 'Glenyrie' CBM/AOS

[Ron-NY]

Polystachya pubescens is a small, epiphytic orchid native to South Africa. The small, pyriform pseudobulbs will reach about 4 inches (10 cm) tall bearing 3-4 leaves of unequal length. It is very easy to grow, I have it in bark mix. I water it often when in growth but keep it fairly dry in the winter.

That is cute!

I have a Polystachya pubescens that's in spike. I don't think mine is as bright a yellow as is yours.

 

[Ron-NY]

Of all the ones I have seen over the years. This clone seems to have the best color.

Very nice, the yellow with the dark stripes, good form! Jean

I feel at home. The colour is very nice.

Beautiful. They are getting rather scarce, as it is one of the species that is used as 'muti' (african medicines) by local witchdoctors.
