A miniature Cattleya relative.

Here's a close up:


And here's the whole plant. Note the new buds on the top growth and the pen on the left, included for scale:

Wow! it is beautiful ! glad you posted a picture of the blooms . How are you growing it , light ect . mine just hangs around looking green Gin

[Sue]

I spray it occasionally – not daily (although I should) – and fertilize, weakly, around once a month.

It's outside, under a tree, where it gets bright shade, and heavily filtered sun.

Don't know if that helps any. I wish I had more advice; I haven't had it for more than about six months.

So, are you just trying to make the rest of us jealous, or is there some other evil intent by showing off all these beauties. All I've got in bloom is a couple of catts and a phrag and a Mtssa...and, oh, hmmmm guess maybe....well, NEVER MIND!

No Kidding Sue - Great Growing!

[Gin]

Thanks for the info. Oh evil twin lol . 6 years is a long time, mine will be lucky to live that long ...... If it does not bloom Gin

[Sue]

Bah! Sorry: typo.

I meant to say six months, not six years.

I'll go edit my previous post now.

That is nice! Any updates on the plant? How is it doing?
Thanks.

[Sue]

Oh, it's plodding along. I think it's done blooming 'till next summer, but it's putting out new growths. It seems prone to branching; I think it's got 4 or 5 growth points.

Does it take alot of light? Im thinking about getting this one and mounting it at the top (near the light source) in my Orchidarium becuase of its growth habit. I don't want to burn it though.

Wow, neat! I'm glad you pointed things out or I never would have appreciated it like I do now. I love how the flowers poke out from between the leaf growth like that. And I had no clue it was so tiny - it's beautiful!
