Another lovely Indian orchid species. The flowers have just begun to open. I took the pictures while in a rush to work today morning. I will post another set of photos (hopefully better ones) once they open up.
I got this last July and never expected it to bloom with the kind of rough handling it got from me! It has put out new growth and rewarded me with these lovely flowers. I need to make a specimen out of this. One is the bigger of the two and the other was a large keiki from this plant. The keiki was just mounted on to a moss stick (the moss stick can be seen in the first image) and the mother plant is hung from a coconut husk shell. They should open up completely by this weekend.
