They look so dainty, Zainal, like paper flowers hanging underneath a tall pink hibiscus bush. It is a more reliable bloomer than the D. anosmum.

I agree Yew. That dainty lavender. And the fragrance. My aunt was sweeping spent leaves and blooms of the hibiscus when she smelled something sweetly fragrant. She had to look for a tall chair just to be sure the scent was coming from the cucullatum.

Keikies form on other bare stems that have no flowers.

Great blooms, so special

Thanks Nathalie. Yes, these are special blooms for me too. I find greater satisfaction when I see these species orchids come into bloom in my garden. I feel as if a part of nature, a piece of the forest, just walked in to honor me with its presence.
