This plant is a gift from a friend and my first orchid in my all-CP balcony. :laugh:

That's a cute little orchid you have. How long did it take to flower?

And I do see the face. :laugh: It's sort of funny-looking.


Nice orchid anyway

That plant does have a very unique flower and bulbose base Cindy. Haa, haa, the "face" on the flower looks like a guy showing his tounge at you.

My supressed passion for orchids is being encouraged by you Cindy. Hope it doesn't re-emerge soon. SO unique the flower.

Hi Cindy,

Really nice bulbo :1thumbup: you got there, any idea where this originated? The flower looks so hairy and the coloration is sooo special. Once you got one, later you will get more :biggrin:

Ed, the species is from Thailand I think. Used to be very rare but during the garden festival the shop had at least 5 plants.

Hi Cindy,

Thanks for the information, I started collecting orchids as well but to only paphiopedilum and bulbophyllum species. Got quite a few, now after saw the one you posted this will definitely be in my wish list. :biggrin:
