Gastrochilus japonicus
One of the few plants I grow on cork bark ( the bark of the cork oak, as used for making wine bottle corks - which- the oak - grows in Portugal and Spain - but does not have epiphytes on it - that I have seen, anyway !.
The orchid of course comes from what here in UK we call the Far East. I guess if you live in The Phillipines, you call it home !. ( and maybe you call us the Far West ? )
A little charmer this one. Hardly any different from one or two other members of the genus - to my eyes, but I am happy to grow every one I can find. Flowers the size of my finger nails , and they say I have got big hands - so approaching 15mm at the best.
