Hey mon! ... some very fine looking Sun bathing lovlies there mate, who are they again? Have they sexed yet? ....Ground planted!


This should be fun!

first, a hello from a baby Blue belly.... how cute is that?!
>>> Ready for some more orchid porn?

...first, the Fly Mimic's,
Trichoceros antennifera, and the other that's not flowered yet to ID,... this first one is the most fly-like hands down, very fascinating! It's supposed to look like a proper Sheila to the blokes, who maybe smell her as well and fancy the flowers' looks? I'm not sure if they have confirmed it emanates a mimic pheromone as well to lure the males in-

, pollination by mating action!.... it has no aroma that I can tell,

-thankfully?

.......very sadly, this plant nearly died off for WTF reasons I could not figure nor fix,.. a couple small pieces are building back up healthy now though,...(these pics are 4 y.o.)... I just love they body habit these show!
...... and the un-ID'ed one, more petite. slender, elegant,.... first pic is 4 years ago too, then current...
.... good root shot of how they anchor themselves,.. this is a crawling, rambling genus that climbs over whatever....
