Zygostates lunata & Stanhopea wardii

[shadytrake]

These two are working on blooms. So exciting.

That is exciting Shady!!

I picked up a big division of some un-named Stanophea species at our society summer auction, and it just put out a spike and new growths.:wink:
So I'm pretty excited about seeing the blooms and maybe getting it identified.

I like the way you mounted the Stanhopea.

I wish! That is a clean and wet shade house floor. :rollhappy:

Oh you mean the blue thing? No, it is a tarp covering a huge table saw. We had to tear down the old garage last year as it was falling in. Not in the budget to build a new one.

Thanks! Living on the Mississippi River has the advantage of free driftwood. All we have to do is wash it and bleach it in the sunshine.

Lovely species!

I would love to know the source of your Z. lunata if you don't mind. I really like to replace that one I lost few years ago.

I got a division from vplcud on ebay a few years ago. I looked in my email archive and I still have his address. Lanchi Vo, San Jose, CA.

Zygostates lunata has a neat weird fringed flower.
