    Smile Flowers of Jewel orchid.

    This is the flowers of Macodes sanderiana less than 0.5cm. Very beautiful. Some of the flower already become seed pod by natural process, each one lasting more than a week.

    They look so delicate, Zain. I like your close up photography. I can really appreciate the details of the blooms. Thanks!

    Cheers,

    I love the pubescence of it and the orange anther cap! I have one jewel orchid in spike. Hopefully It will bloom soon and not blast, as it did last year. Zain, can you post a pic of the leaves of this plant? Most jewel orchids have wonderful leaves.
