Microterangis hildebrandtii
Here is another wonderful minature, Microterangis hildebrandtii, in bloom. It grows very well in sphag, wet and warm. The spike number and length seem to vary each year and I don't know what induces it to bloom.

I've only seen these mounted. Great little dwarf and super color.

This deserves going(coming) forward. I love beautiful minitures. My eyes not being what they was could have an influence.
Thanks for the great pictures.

thanks - unfortunately, this plant suddenly went downhill in a few weeks time and perished. Not sure what happened.

Sad indeed. I also had one, that did very well for several years - a root and flower machine. Then it expired. No idea why either...

Sure hate bringing up a bad experience, but such a beautiful plant. I am going to research to see if I can find farther info on it.

Hey, you win a few you lose a few. It IS a cute miniature, though not particularly colorful. (Hint... if you never kill an orchid, you aren't learning because you're not trying new things. Nobody bats 1.000)
