    I bought this orchids because of the plant shape and to be honest, I've never bee hearing before this name. Now my plant is flowering, not stunning by I like such small flowers. Even one of few African orchid in my collection.

    This African orchid is not commonly seen in collections, unlike the Angraecum. I think at one time they were called Rhipidoglossum. I like the flowers. Thanks for posting.

    Cool flowers! Thank you for putting a picture showing the plant, too. I was not familiar with this species either.

    Yew, I'm not so familar with African orchids, but you are right, common in the collection are Angraecum or Aeranthes species, but in Africa are growing much more interessting orchids.
