Today, I learned that this little guy won "President's Trophy" at the Ann Arbor Orchid Society's show this past weekend.

Wow, that is pretty cool. I like the neat compact "canes" on that Den. Its much nicer than droopy canes by far. Is there a fragrance to the flowers? What are the growing conditions like?

I would love one of these!

Neat, almost Latouria type flowers on a bulbo-type cane.

This is a tiny plant. The pseudobulbs are each about 1/4" across. It's deciduous. I have it growing under a south window in my intermediate sunroom. I have it hanging inside a large clay pot that sits in a pan of water to keep the clay pot moist (for humidity).

And yes, it is lightly fragrant.

Thanks, everyone. BTW, I purchased it from Andy's Orchids. Maybe they still have some.

It truly bends the mind to think about the diversity within this genus, rivaling the other biggie, Bulbophyllum. Great little plant you've got there Dot! It is plants like this one that keep me wanting to collect more - there is no escape...

Wow, what a plant! Both unusual looking and beautifully grown Congrats, Dot!

amazing! the above is also one of my favorites that I don't grow. I think I hear the clatter of many keyboards doing a plant search of andy's orchids website...
