Ophidion cunabulum
Also known as Cryptophoranthus cunabulus, this miniature species is from Colombia and is related to Masdevallia and Pleurothallis. It has a pendant habit and is best grown on a mount. It is supposed to be temperature tolerant, though I grow it cool, and it flowers successively and is seldom out of flower. The growths are 6-8cm long and the flowers small at 1.3 cm.

It is a remarkable species, isn't it, and very small, just right for my conditions and setup. Thanks once again for your kind comments.
DeleteThis is a new one to me Ron. Thanks for the post. I may not have heard of it otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chad, for looking. It's really easy to grow and a real charmer, too.
DeleteAn original miniature, had not never seen it. It is growing healthy and beautiful. Congratulations Ron
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your taking the time to look and comment, my friend.
Deleteis this the same as Ophidion pluerothallopsis? I just got that one and the blooms look identical to me. Do they open up any more than this?
ReplyDeleteNo, this is a different species. Yours has some white on it or should and is probably somewhat redder in color. They do not, either of them, open more than this.
