Wow, lovely flowers... I'd love to have one of these in my garden.

awesome display for sure!

Great form and color. Looks like it could fly away at any moment. Lastly, to think it blooms on schedule three years in a row must mean this orchid has one heck of a internal clock. AL

It will be interesting to see what happens next year when we have a leap year, hee, hee! Beautiful flowers - thanks for sharing!

Really Really Nice, love it. Somehow species Renanthera always appeal to me more than the hybrids...

Pretty. My fav Renanthera specie. You are lucky. Its so hard to find.

yes the flowers of your Rhenanthera are really very big. Look at the pictures I took in May in China. An nursery in South China

Hej Mietek,

I would say that your pictures are showing Renanthera vietnamensis and not imshootiana. My plant is in flower right now as well. The plant shown by Mike in the first post ist most likely an imshootiana.

Hi Phil,

are you sure? What make the difference in between these two species? I think I have to visit this nursery again. Hmmmm.

Hmm, I can send you Averyanovs description of vietnamensis. He is also comparing both species in the article. I can name you a good source for real vietnamensis here in Germany.

Beautiful indeed. BTW, I think u have a typo. It is Renanthera imschootiana. You missed the "c"
