    Default Dockrilla schoenina the Pencil Orchid

    Hi guys.This is my pencil orchid which is in full bloom. It was a bit unappealing when I bought it last year as there were no flowers in it and it was just sitting in the corner in its "fence" like pot, unnoticed by other orchid lovers but I took it home and here it is now. The fragrance reminds me of a melted chocolate.....which also reminds me of work too!...lol

    Interesting flower. I would love to be surrounded by the smell of melted chocolate all day. I am an orchaholic and a chocoholic and a hostaholic for that matter.

    I like the flowers...but the pic of the plant with all the flowers going everywhere is the best! What a great plant!

    I have one of these and I am desperate for it to bloom. What conditions is this one kept in?
