Meiracyllium trinasutum 'Laurelwood'

I believe this is in the Cattleya alliance ...

I thought I would post this, as it isn't one you see every day ...

I got this last weekend, in bud, at the San Jose Orchid Exposition from Gold Country Orchids. Honestly - I told myself I was done buying, had already busted my small budget, but thought I would have another look at their booth since it was less crowded than earlier ... Saw this cutie, and that was that ...

Nice cinnamon fragrance in the morning - but I do need to put my nose right up to it to get the fragrance.

I was told this does not want to really dry out (no pbulbs!), grow in lower light, cool to hot growing. (One of the traits I really look for is temperature tolerance! Small size is also a plus!)

Photos aren't the greatest - blooms are quite small!

Thanks for looking!

That is really cute

Not familiar with that one. Cute it is! Small size, fragrant, temp tolerant. That's a winning combo in my book. Nice find!

I was also not familiar with this one. Yes, the winning combo was my rationalization to get it

Thanks

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do with some of the other new ones I got but this one is not a problem

That's a a lovely orchid. The species is seldom grown or sold in Taiwan. But one friend has this one and his plant does well when mounted on the slab.
