no id, philippines

[walingwaling]

hi forum,
another riddle for the experts out there.

a friend of mine asked me to id it, so im helping out.
this plant is from the philippines, produces plenty of tiny bright shiny yellow flowers with a little fuzzy lip.
i couldnt get better pix coz of the size and the lip was turned upside down.

i appreciate your help, here we go...

I would look for an ID first under the genera Thrixspermum and Pomatocalpa.

and the winner is nelson!

thanks for helping, i got closer to id it now, as for the plant itself i would say its a thrixspermum trichoglottis, but didnt come across a yellow flower, a new one???

correction, just saw the yellow blooms on the trichoglottis, but spotted underneath the lip.

hi forum,
just an update, since i have better pix and this little cutie is with me now.
so, i would settle for a thrixspermum trichoglottis and she stays in full bloom only for about 3 hours. her fragrance is very strong and rose like. she produces new blooms every 4 days or so.

here is the latest pix,

Cool, Ron. Three hours is not a long time to get a photo and enjoy the fragrance. lol. Neat little bloom.

Cheers,
