    Cool Myrmecophila thomsoniana one of my orchid dreams did come true today!!

    been wanting one of these orchids for ages and i finally got one!! sorry the pics are rough, i just got home with it and snapped a few quick ones off before i get started playing with it...plus the wind is kinda kickin cuz a typhoon is in the area!
    cant wait til i get it to flower myself next year!!












    as with most of my orchids over here, im not certain of any specific crosses that this may be a product of but the seller told me it was a pure wild variety...

    I love the curly petals and probably the scent but same with Jonada I don't have the space for this.
