Rodriguezia Venusta

Rodriguezia072417.jpgI purchased this Rodriguezia venusta from Andy’s Orchids who was showing at Orchids in the Park in San Francisco on July 22, 2017.  It is a species of intermediate-warm growing  epiphytic orchid that is found at elevations of 500 too 1800 meters in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil.  The Orchid Encyclopedia (IOSPE) recommends half light, and misting daily.  It is currently in bloom with three spikes, each having 10 or more flowers.

It is mounted on a stick, and I will keep it in my solarium until my greenhouse is complete.
