It's so tiny and cute! Just how senile is it?

Gin, do you keep your minis in a terrarium or on other plants? I don't know if I've asked you before.

Way to go Gin! Mine has two spikes in bud. Who knows if they'll both produce though. I almost hate to even announce the buds out of superstition. I really hope for blossoms. Did your's go totally dormant like mine did?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Very nice! The plant alone--even without the blooms--looks quite attractive. Something rather conversational about those fuzzy pseudobulbs. And the flower is beautiful. Well done!

Bet ya don't Gregg mine forget to bloom I read a lot about the senile several things did not agree . I messed up and did not keep it dry enough oops ! At one point it was losing leaves , I had a senile moment and watered it ..
Ross be sure and post a picture of you know who . Won't type the name and jinx them .
I grew it bright, cool and supposed to be dry in the Fall/winter , Spring summer, water , more shade . Don't know if that is right or not ...Gin
