Trichocentrum Ollie Palmer (Maureen x haematochilum)

 

Oncidium cebolleta (Jacq.) Sw. 1800

I saw this orchid growing in an airy and sunny location in a garden near Isabela in the north coast of Puerto Rico.  Although it is a plant that does well in the hot and humid conditions of the coast of Puerto Rico, it seems to be rare in cultivation.  This is the only plant I have ever seen of this species in our Island.

Lophiaris morenoi (Dodson & Luer) Braem 1993

I saw this tiny plant on the Caribbean Island of St. Croix in March 2016.  It is cultivated by Debra Tyron.  The plant is small and the flowers are so tiny you need a magnifying glass to appreciate them fully.  It is a cute and curious miniature.
