Polystachia fallax

[Rudy]

Won this one at the raffle of our local orchid society.
The plant is currently still very small but I have been told it's ultimately getting rather big.
It's native from Africa and supposedly easy to grow - even though I have no idea yet on how to go about.

Nice blooms. I've never seen one like this before.

That is a nice looking bloom. New to me too.

Cheers,

I have P. pubescens, posted it recently here. It is a miniature. According to the Orchid Encyclopedia online, fallax is a 'small sized, cool to warm growing, epiphytic species that is found in Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and Zaire in rainforests at elevations of 1350 to 1600 meters.'
