Gastrochilus
I have two different Gastrochilus - calceolaris and sororius. They are located in my terrarium. G. calceolaris is flowering second time. I like these little beauties very much. Both plants are still growing new buds, so I can enjoy their flower long time. I don’t quite see differences between these orchids except G. sororius is bigger.

Beauties for sure, lush, healthy looking 'chids and bloomin' to boot.
Great growing!

Heli, I have G. somai (see my avitar) and G. calceolaris. Mine are in humid Orchidarium. I agree these are very pretty plants and active growers.

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.)

Nice! I'm going to need to get into these types of orchids some day. Thanks for sharing!

@Ludisia
There are differences between sororius and calceolaris. Both are often muddled up. Here an extract from Opera Botanica Nr. 95

I don't have literature for sororius. I hope I could help you.
@rsfrid somai is a synonym for japonicus.

Thanks for the picture Phil. The flower is amazing. Just hours ago I try to take close-up pictures for it.
