Side view.

The plant, 5 spikes are visible, it has 2 more on the other side. First bloom, so doing well.

Nick

Compare the spike emergence of this one. Not open yet but these spikes are just busting out of there. Look definitely potent.

Nick

Maxillaria richii, warm grower found in Ecuador. Also first bloom. side view, the front shot was out of focus.

Front view of Max richii.

Maxillaria perryaea, warm grower only found in eastern Ecuador. Flowers never fully open.

Nick

Single flower.

Nick

Side view, fully open I might add.

Nick

The buds, they look like bundles of energy ready to burst on the scene. Then they half open and that's it. Oh well.

Nick

All open.

Nick

Another view of a couple of them.

Nick

They are lovely looking, even if they don't open any more..
