disa

This Disa atricapilla seems to like me. I was expecting it to be really difficult but we're getting along quite well. Maybe it could have been a little more showy?

It's Disa time again. Disa x (aurata x tripetaloides) Disa kewensis 'Ann'

A winter growing Disa, it requires a dry summer rest. The buds seem to take forever to open. One not to grow in a Sarracenia lagoon.

Wondering if anyone can id the ferny plant on the left and the tiny grassy plant in the foreground? And by someone I mean you, Mach, since the Disa they came in with is from you.

I've been wanting to add a few Disa species to my ZA plant collection but, most of the vendors here in the US seem to be defunct. I've found a few hybrids here and there but, I'd really like to get some pure species. Does anyone know of any nurseries or private growers where I might be able to...

This saves a lot of photo editing. All of this years Disa in flower at the moment.

This is one I acquired as a small plant a few years ago and flowering for the first time this year. There was no indication of colour. Disa x kewensis It looks remarkably like one I already have called "Ann" Disa x kewensis "Ann"

A cross between two miniature species ( flowers on both approximately 2cm [0.8"]). Disa x (aurata x tripetaloides) Flowers open a yellowish cream and fade to cream. The parent species :- Disa aurata Disa tripetaloides

Please be warned :- your retinae may be under threat Here are some of this year's crop. All are grown in my Sarracenia lagoons. Disa x watsonii "Candy" Disa x kewensis "Alice" Disa x kewensis "Milkmaid" Larger fowered than Disa x watsonii "Candy Disa x watsonii "Bramley"...

I have a bit of a collection of terrestrial orchids and it looks like I may well be posting many of them on here. I have aleady posted a thread on Disa which grow alongside my carnivores, so I'll continue the theme with a couple of Epipactis that enjoy damp / wet conditions. Epipactis gigantea...

It's taken me a while ( a few years) to get here so I'll use this an introduction, and a way to get used to the posting on this forum.:grin: These Disa are useful orchids for growing alongside my Sarracenia and extending the flowering season. They are evergreen and only require protection from...

Disa uniflora comes from south africa, and is commonly seen growing with Drosera capensis and other sundews in its natural habitat. They prefer purified water, but can tolerate a low dose of fertilizer. In the wild, they are found growing in pure sphagnum, and in cultivation, a 60%...

Check out: Pretty awesome, huh? The pitchers aren't too shabby either! Bidding on a division of this plant start at $500. ;) Actually this is the flower of Disa uniflora growing alongside my sarras in one of the bogs. This is the only (intended) non-CP plant growing in my terrariums.

I have two, 3" pots, each with 2 young Disa kewensis plants that were divided late last year that I am looking to trade. They are not quite big enough to flower this year, but if well cared for, should bloom next year. For those of you not familiar with Disas- they are terrestrial orchids native...

My main interest is to have in my collection, every last known pinguicula so if you have one not on my grow list let me know. Beyond my Ping obsession i have very good luck with petiolaris and tuberous drosera and would like to enlarge my collection of them too. I always have lots of nepenthes...

One day I'm totally going to make one of these. Maybe then I can grow Darlingtonia successfully for once. Some people can pull it off in hot weather, but not I, monsieur, not I! http://merklesorchids.com/Orchidpages/disa.html I guess it would be great for Disa if you're into that...
