Dendrochilum glumaceum

[papayj]

Nice vanilla scent. Very yummy
I got always fascinated by Dendrochilums...tiny little flower, but when seen through a magnifying glass, one can find really intricate looking, fully developed orchid flowers adorning every flower spikes. The shape of the column and the callouses and the lobes on the lips and so on.

Interestingly, all inflorescences are in same direction--they're all facing westwards. Incidentally, it is the direction of the airflow from the circulation fan. Perhaps wind plays some role in the development of flower spikes? hmm...
