Calanthe rubens

[Cjcorner]

I rarely buy plants in bloom unless they are phals for my tv room. This however was such an unusual one I broke my rule. It was in bud and now that it's bloomed I'm glad I bought it.

Really nice plant! I love these that bloom sans leaves. I'm hoping to find my clowesia has opened up when I get home...

Cute delicately colored flower.

Like the soft yellow.

I try to buy orchids in bud, thinking if it doesn't survive my care, I at least get to enjoy it first.

Very pretty

Lovely. Watch how the flowers seem to dance when there is a slight breeze. Yours look like the alba form. They are normally more pink.

I put it outside earlier so maybe it would get more color in the flowers. If it's alba that would be nice too. I didn't know what to expect when I bought it but they are a cute flower...i'll be watching for it to dance in the breeze. I enjoy these small ones. A challenge to photograph, but such beautiful little things.
