pumila

I was on a birdwatching trip to see **** of the rock male birds displaying in a lek in Ecuador. Along the way I saw many orchids. I could not stop to photograph most of them, but I did get photos of a few. This one resisted identification for the longest time. But I think it is Hapalorchis...

I’ve managed to shock my poor little pumila flower with horticultural oil. Poor thing…

A very round and flat version of this miniature ‘Cattleya’. The color is almost iridescent purple fuschia. Still small so not blooming to potential. But what a flower lol.
