Both the Dendrobium and the Zygostates are new to me! I have no recall of the Zygostates at all. The Dendrobium distichum I had heard of but this is the first time I have seen it. That is a beautiful little flower! So much is going on there in such a small area. Talk about stripes, oh my goodness.
Restrepias are just so cool! They remind me of a little butterfly with 2 antennae. It is one of the few orchids that you can start from a single leaf, just like an African violet. It is a tie between antennifera and sanguinea as to which one I love more! Today it's antennifera!! Lovey dubby
