I have been looking with great expectations at the luscious growth of these cool growing terrestrial plants (I keep them with my pleiones) but find myself a little disappointed. Maybe it's the lack of colour.
-
My goodness, you're a tough woman to please, Maren :o I find the delicate shades of these flowers most attractive and their intricate shape is full of interest. 8)

I have to agree with Maggi on this - I think it is delightful.
-
Same here, Maren I think they are lovely. Off course my favourite colour for flowers is white so I would be very happy with the flowers 8)

That's a wonderful plant Maren - when you compare it to the little green things that Fred G posted a month or two back it's positively fabulous.
Of course if you don't like it, there's at least 4 forumists (and counting) that would give it a good home! ;D
-
And here's number five.
I agree with the others it is really amazing. I suspect you will hang on to it, and perhaps when it bulks up you will be more pleased with it.
-
I looked at it earlier in the day and thought it was wonderful.
-
Nice flowers Maren, nothing to be disappointed with here.
-
very nice one ! i have some habenaria but not this one
some of mine(different species ) are spiking
-
Thank you all, I feel encouraged. I suppose another reason for my disappointment was that I had lots of Habenaria myriotricha (medusae) that I was looking forward to, and they have only made 1 inch of growth. :( I better start liking these. ;)

Wonderful plants Maren, shame they're not fully hardy.

OUCH!

I was trying to cheer her up! ;)

Exactly, I like mottled leaves too. Especially, some Habenaria and similar genus got beautiful leaves. Hemipiliopsis purpureopunctana (it is belong to Habenaria genus before)was found in the last month in S.Himalaya, nice small flower!
-
I like very much amazing foliages too, almost as much as flowers :D and I'm always looking for them as they stay longer time than flowers ;)
-
I like your Hemipiliopsis purpureopunctana, such a long name for such a pretty small flower. :)
-
Yes Maren, it is long name.... and lovely small flowers. I pollinated several flowers and they are become seed pods now, hope easy to be propagated in flask, let me try.
