Default From Serpent to Medusa

I originally posted this ("Serpents In The GH") when it was very small... Well after waiting for some time it has matured into a beautiful flower....and so far no odor!

Medusa is right! As she had snakes for stands of hair ..

That's a real beauty. Especially like those little black hairs. Would you mind posting a picture of the whole plant, if possible?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
