365 days of orchids – day 602 – Pleurothallis rubella

This species is a mini-miniature from the cool moist cloud forests of Panama and Colombia.

The plant produces a mass of 3cm long leaves and then single flowers on 4cm stems – very cute.

We find that the species does well mounted or in baskets.

    Hello,

    Could it be that the photo of Pleurothallis rubella is in fact Pleurothallis corniculata?

    Kind regards,

    Giel van der Linden

      Thanks, I am happy to be corrected. This plant was purchased at EOC Paris and is a rewarding miniature.
