Very cool!
Are these easier to grow than Telipogons? I've had my eye on this genus for a while, but never knew anyone with experience growing them.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes, quite a bit easier than Telipogans. Though from what i've been told, the Panamian Telipogans are supposed to be easier than the Andean Telipogans.

Trichoceros seem to be much less demanding overall. I grow them in my apartment and the temperature and humidity are nowhere near ideal yet all of them (I have 4 species) are currently spiking.

Not sure which ones i'll keep yet. I am going to try to spend time this weekend figuring all that out!

Lien, that is wild!
I don't have any knowledge at all of these. Are they fragrant? It looks as though it should be.

(you people are vultures, VULTURES!!!) :disappointed:
I think Lien is going to trade his plants for a monkey. hehe....

This one is pretty cool Lien.

I have antenifera at home. It doesn't seem to be as compact as this species, but the Tricho's are all cool. :Party:

I have some in my terrariums, they're all mounted. here's the whole plant, very compact. bulb and leaf total about 1.25 inch.
