Check out this monster I picked up at the local orchid shop today
Myrmercodia echinata
No way man, it's just not gonna fit!
Look at that multiheaded caudex
Now here's the blooms which emerge from these leperous lesions which form along the stem!
Upclose. The blooms are four cornered, sealed and tubular. They are self fertile creating orange berries with a few seed in each. I have half a dozen blooms so will be able to get to propagating these from seed soon.
Here is the tragic remains of my Hydnophytum simplex, poor guy got attacked by a caterpillar on the patio but it's coming back. Any possible seed/seedlings from this little guy is a few years off yet.
