    Default Ascocentrum himalayicum

    very nice small flowers.The plants look more like an Holcoglossum, but the flowers are total different. Native to China.

    The leaves on this orchid are so interesting! I like the blooms too, but the orchid plant itself it awesome. Is the bloom fragrant?

    cheers,

    Thanks. I guess the vibrant color is all it needs to attract a pollinator. Really nice.

    Lovely blooms, and very interesting foliage for an Asctm. I would love to see this crossed with Actm miniatum, even if just to see how the foliage would be.

    Lots of color and as has already been stated, those are neat leaves. Nice to see you were still able to take it outside this time of year. AL

    It will be on my wish list. Lovely.

    FYI, it is Ascocentrum himalaicum per Kew and IPNI. (without a y)
