    Default Drymoda siamensis

    I was waiting for 3 years to see this tiny flower: last year there was a flower spike, but it withered away, even before the flower opened. A month ago was the same - it had a flower spike, but it withered away again.... I thought I'm gonna cry
    But I noticed another spike and this one managed to bloom, I'm so hapy, hapy
    It is a miniature orchid endemic to North Thailand and Laos. Flower is about 1,5 cm wide and bulbos are extremely wrinkled and flattened:

    Branka: This is the kind of plant that has to practice to get it perfect...... It took three years, but it finally succeeded. Look at it from the orchid's point of view and you should understand how much work you both went through. More reason to feel PROUD! AL
