    Really beautiful, even the leaves look nice! I have wanted one of these after seeing it online, what conditions are you giving it? Obviously it likes what you are giving it! It is not huge is it?

    Thanks!

    Meg25, it is a miniature Dendrobium species. The plant is about 4" tall and the flower is over an inch.
    This species likes to be in the intermedia or cooler growing condition with good humidity.

    Well... Pentapterum means "5 winged" and this beautiful Dendrobium has 5 opened wings!... Very pretty and unusual...
