Beautiful, Olya. The amazonica is really nice, and so is morning glory. It's a pity that one's so high up - I suspect it must have a really nice scent?

Knockout colors!! Is the Cochleanthes fairly easy to grow?

Cochleanthes amazonica "a must have" i'll agree with that. It is on my buy list.

Pity those orchid purples are so hard to capture. My attempts have just ended up as purple blobs.

They are all beautiful, love the cochleanthes amazonica, the colors are so delicate. Thank-you for sharing. Tricia

I love the Cochleanthes amazonica and have thought about getting that one for a long time. I think the size might be an issue for me.

Thanks a lot!

Cochleanthes amazonica does not seem to be a very large plant...Currently it is in a (I think) 4 inch pot
I bought it from Oak Hill 2 years ago, as a very small plant (I think it was 4 or 5 dollars, smallest size...They sell it now again, but bigger) It was a fairly slow grower for me - maybe, just for me
I grow it in straight sphagnum moss, in a clay pot. It is getting more light now, and responded well, with faster growing and first time flowering :)
I also grow a primary hybrid of it and candida. Both plants love lots of water - the sphag is almost always wet, and the roots are beautiful and plump. I love seeing moss growing on top of the sphag :)
Overall, seems like an easy plant: bright indirect light and lots of rain water

I love your blooms Olya! The jenmanii x looks like a huge bloom. Is the cochleanthes a large plant? I have C. amazing and it's getting pretty big. I think I like the bloom on your species better and the plant looks to be smaller. Thx for posting.

Sheila :)

Beautiful, Olya. You have the touch!

Nice, Olya. C. amazonica is one I had to give up on, at least this time around. Congrats on it being an easy one for you.

The Bl. Morning Glory is lovely, true color or not.
