    This one is an absolute favorite. I saw a photo posted on a forum a while back, and when I found this for sale at Andy's last spring, well, it simply had to come home. It seems to bloom off and on, spitting out cute little fuzzy toilets. It's mounted, and grows in the same area as my scaphosepalums and other pleurothallids.

    Great photo, too. Makes me wonder what the pollinator is. Thanks for posting.

    Something that likes to get tickled, no doubt.

    Nicely done. Great species.

    I got one of these from Andy's, too. It seems to bloom pretty much continuously, sometimes lots of flowers, sometimes only one. It is a great species!
