They are pretty Yves, but the plant looks soo compact, mine are huge, the pseudobulbs are a feet and a half !

Dear Amey,
perhaps to much room to grow,I use small pots 7cm(2.8inch)diameter,chrysotoxum dislikes much transplanting.

Kind regards,
Yves

Yves, Amey,

I think there are variations of Dend chrysotoxum. I have both variations. One small and compact like the above one and the typical long caned chrysotoxum. The short one has not yet bloomed. just waiting for it to bloom. Not sure if it is going to bloom this year now since it should have typically bloomed in spring/early summer in India.
