Tamtam and marathonrunner see see here

Marathonrunner bought one plant recently and was (mis)indentified as Ansellia africana. It is a case where the once common form of the plant gradually becomes uncommon. What he bought was actually a tiger orchid Grammatophyllum scriptum but if he ask why not green green one? Simple - the green one is the albino form and it had been very vigourously cloned and reproduced as it was "rare" then. Now the normal form is rarer =.=

Tamtam got one interesting plant which I had before - Acriopsis javanica. Interesting pseudobulbs. This plant is rather variable in size. The one I have is about 3 x the normal size:





One taxonomist thought it was a new species X_X. This plant attracts a lot of ants and it is related to Grammatophyllum and Cymbidium - anyone tried crossing yet?

Thecostele alata and Thecopus secunda are one of the most commonly mislabelled or misIDed plants. I hope the people in that plant forum where the mistake recent occurred knows what to do =p.
