Asexually-produced "keiki" (new, genetically identical plantlets) are formed at the tips of the long skinny antennae-like appendages (modified peduncles) seen in the picture. Emerging inflorescences are twice as thick as the 'stems' that produce keiki.
This enchanting, leafless, angraecoid orchid species is endemic to Jamaica. Some may not find its scent so beguiling, however (the scent from this clone is decidedly spermatic). I used to have a quite different clone that had a longer inflorescence, a much longer, forward-curving spur, very pale green petals and sepals, non-recurvant lateral sepals and a pleasant, jasmine-like fragrance, but now I wonder if it was in fact Dendrophylax fawcetii or a hybrid between it and D. funalis.
I have found this species to be of easy culture in my vivarium, usually blooming 2-3x a year and producing keiki freely. However I made the unfortunate mistake of hanging it too high in late summer, within direct path of my evaporative cooling system. Late summer and early autumn is the warmest time of the year here. The direct, targeted blast fried the poor plant and it took me a few weeks to realise what was happening. I am usually quite careful about not placing plants so close to the cooling system, however the vivarium was quite crowded at the time and it slipped my mind.
I grow this unattached and suspended under HID lights, warm [34°C max, 18°C min (93°F, 65°F)], very bright (average exposure is 5000fc) and quite humid (85%+ rh). It gets watered twice daily in the summer and once daily in the winter. This species has a tendency to reproduce asexually by producing keiki at the end of modified peduncles.
My plant came from a small family-run orchid nursery in Montana that specialises in angraecoid orchids, Botantica Ltd.

Speculating on the Future. Photo showing Studiotopia artist Sandra Lorenzi (FR).
Modern biotechnology is developing very quickly. In Prometheus' footsteps, we use new biological tools to transform our healthcare and wellbeing. In the future, researchers may develop personal medications and therapies that stop us feeling fatigue or pain, or babies with the DNA of three people that may have been made resistant to COVID19. But these applications are not without danger. Some activists and critics point to the possible social and ethical consequences: what if only the super-rich can make their children more athletic and intelligent? In the light of current debates on the use of genetic modification, BOZAR, Gluon and the Flemish Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) invite the public to a guided tour in the most fascinating labs in Europe, and discuss scientific, ethical and social issues of the latest technology used in biology labs, through the eyes of artists from the Studiotopia art&science residency programme, Kuang-Yi Ku and Sandra Lorenzi.

The following description of the inoculation process at Dorena is excerpted from pages 72 and 73 of the Whitebark Pine Restoration Strategy for the Pacific Northwest Region. 2009–2013 (available here: ecoshare.info/uploads/documents/WPB_Strategy_PNW_093008cl...):
"The Dorena Genetic Resource Center (Dorena), a component of the regional genetics program of Pacific Northwest Region (and a partner with the regional Forest Health Protection group), has established protocols for blister rust resistance testing of whitebark pine. These protocols are based on those developed and successfully used for screening of western white pine (P. monticola) and sugar pine (P. lambertiana) over the past 5 decades (Danchok et al. 2003).
Resistance testing involves inoculation of young (usually 2-year-old) seedlings with spores of C. ribicola and evaluation of seedlings for up to 5 years after inoculation. Inoculation usually takes place in late August or during September (which coincides with time of natural infection in the field). Seedlings are moved into a climate-controlled inoculation chamber. Temperature within the inoculation chamber is maintained at around 16.7° C (62° F) and relative humidity at 100 percent.
Ribes spp. are the alternative host for C. ribicola, and spores from infected Ribes spp. are necessary to infect the pines. Ribes spp. leaves infected with C. ribicola at the telial stage are collected from forests in Oregon and Washington or from the Ribes garden at Dorena. The Ribes leaves are placed on wire frames above the seedlings, telial side down. Spore fall is monitored until the desired (target) inoculum density of basiospores is reached for each box; the Ribes leaves are then removed. After the target inoculum density is reached for the last box, the temperature is raised to 20° C, and the seedlings are left in the inoculation chamber for approximately 48 hours to ensure spore germination and infection of the pine needles.
Following inoculation, the seedlings are transported outside. The seedlings are evaluated over a period of 5 years for the presence of disease symptoms and mortality. The first symptoms to develop are needle lesions, or ‘spots.’ These are typically assessed approximately 9 months and 1 year after inoculation. Presence and number of stem symptoms along with mortality is assessed annually for 5 years after inoculation."
