The Devil's Excrement

Orchids
Attempting to transmit the beauty of this passion of mine. In Spanish one word for orchid collector is quite fitting: "orquidiota" or "orchididiot" in English. I confess being one.

Grammatophyllum Scriptum

A year ago I thought this plant of Grammatophyllum Scriptum was going to die as it started losing leaves and turning brown. I moved it more into the sun, much brighter light and then I started using a fertilizer with Magnesium and Calcium that seemd to do the trick.

It has 8 shoots, each with 50-54 flowers, you can see all eight on the top two pictures. In the bottom two pictures a close up of the individual flowers.
