Lankesterella ceracifolia
This plant is tiny! The rosette of leaves, which is itself rather unusual, is only 4 cm across and the tiny flowers are 5 mm long. The flowers bloom three or four to a spike and bloom successively in the spring. The species is from Argentina and Brazil and is named after a famous naturalist and orchid collector, Charles H. Lankester.

That's a very cool plant. What conditions are you growing it in?
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
DeleteI'm growing it with my Masdevallias and New Guinea Dendrobiums but it really prefers slightly warmer temps.
Oh the green veins are amazing

Glad you're getting out. We hiked the east bank of Baker Lake yesterday and are probably headed for the gorge next week.

ReplyDeleteI use the state fish and wildlife pull out on the north side of Old Vantage Hwy west of Ginko. The one with the corrals. head up the road or simply up the ridge northward. pretty much centered between Wind Horse and Ginko, it is a handy pllace to spend a few hours. Ticks

Thanks for the visit and link. You have a beautiful blog.
DeleteRon, good job! where did you get the Lankesterella? I've been searching for one for quite awhile.
ReplyDeleteHi William. I may have ordered it from Equagenera or it may have come from Andy's. Those are the only two possibilities that I can think of.
DeleteThank you Ron
