I love the foliage on this one. Such a cool little plant. It has 3 spikes with about 22 buds/blooms. My camera usually hates the minis but she's cooperating today! Thanks for checking this little guy out.

Very cool! I was at H&R today and almost bought one of these, but I decided against it. Now Im kicking myself! I like how clear the flowers are. Very bizarre.

Lovely plant (and great photos of her!) Paul! I picked up one of these at the Tatton Park Show - really a great little orchid. I love the foliage habit too, but those see through flowers are just out of this world!

Here's mine in bloom:

The flowers are so neat! They seem translucent, like little ghost flowers. Is it a difficult species?

Paul, I see yours is in a pot. I have one which is mounted and I don't do well with mounted plants, especially one so tiny. I would like to pot it up. What medium are you using, and how do you grow it. I don't want mine to die of thirst.

I have started growing a few mini's. They are cut little guys, and I hope they do well for me. I bought the mini orchid book with the hope that I will learn something useful from it.
