Leptotes pohlitinocoi
|
This orchid is a Brazilian native, known as a twig epiphyte. I posted about our Leptotes pohlitinocoi twice before, once in April 2016 and again in March 2017. Today we have nine flowers and these flowers can last between two to three weeks only.
 |
| A) Today, April 1st. |
 |
| B) Flower buds appearing on March 4th. |
 |
| C) This orchid came attached to a rather thin stick, which Arne then removed and mounted on this piece of cork. |
 |
| D) This orchid is a slow grower in comparison to our Leptotes bicolor. |
 |
| E) Some of the flowers were blooming on March 18th. |
 |
| F) A view from a side profile. |
 |
| G) Anthony giving you a sense of proportion. |
 |
| H) March 27th. A photo in our orchidarium. |
 |
| I) Beautiful photo with natural sunlight outdoors. |
 |
| J) The flowers have different shades of purple. |
 |
| K) A zoom of an individual flower. In detail, the sepals have the whiter shade while the lip has the darkest hue of purple. The other two petals have dark purple towards the end of their tips. |
 |
| L) A final photo of our Leptotes pohlitinocoi today. Some of the flowers are beginning to show signs of wilting. |
Well, that's my post for today.
I wish you all a great week until next time.
Happy Easter!
