Teacup philippinense

I wish all the multis had a "tiny version".

Thanks for sharing. It´s an interesting plant

It seems like there is a pygmea version of a multifloral that pops up every now and then.

So far I have seen lowii, roth, philippinense.

Please if you can save pollen, it will be greatly appreciated. My mini-roths is 15+ growths, so should flower this early summer.

I really love the P. philipinenses but don't have one because they are to big for my overfilled windowsills. But a dwarf form ...

I got one of these from Piping Rock in April, that just finished blooming.

Little update... All three blooms are open now. However, I am not too excited about the pinch dorsal.

Huge blooms compared to the plant, very nice, but I agree, too bad about the pinching

A novelty perhaps, but it seems that anyone of us with dwindling space for more orchids are just tickled pink to see relatively large flowers on small sized plants.
I'm truly impressed.
I'm new to this forum so other then aesthetics?, why is the pinching bad? Does this kind of flower formation get fewer points at shows?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Generally speaking, Paph. growers and judges want flat dorsal sepals, so pinching is considered to be undesirable.

Despite the pinching, it is still very lovely. The flower : plant size ratio makes it very special. Well done!

Thanks!

Slipperfan explained it well. it is its first blooming so we will see the next one but i have doubts that it will dissappear.
