My slowly expanding collection of Kew Monographs. I just ordered the one on Echinocereus.3yr ⋅ jonny-p ⋅ r/botany

This little Masdevallia ignea survived against the odds when I was working out how to grow Pleurothallids successfully. Now it’s growing away happily.3yr ⋅ jonny-p ⋅ r/orchids
Antirrhinum Purple Twist, one of my favourites. Sometimes it’s more purple, sometimes there’s more white, always eye catching.3yr ⋅ jonny-p ⋅ r/GardeningUK
Pleione praecox var Reichenbachiana originally collected from a secret site on Doi Inthanon in Thailand.2yr ⋅ jonny-p ⋅ r/orchids

Phragmipedium longifolium. If could only grow one genus I think it would have to be Phrags. Aside from the weird beauty of the flowers I love not having to worry about overwatering and many of them grow like weeds in the right conditions3yr ⋅ jonny-p ⋅ r/orchids
