One of the Brazilian Spiranthinae, this species has an incredible coconut fragrance!

Really nice pics Mauro. Great to see both the plant and the flower closeup.

I really like the look of Spiranthinae orchids. All those tiny tiny flowers!

Great shots. Thank you, Mauro! We don't get to see enough of these up here - it's a shame - they're pretty easy to grow.

Hi, Mauro,
excellent pix!! Thanks for sharing them!!
I really hope you don't mind my saying, though, but I think it may actually be a Cyclopogon congestus, which is the one that has the coconut smell (starting to flower in my little greenhouse at the moment).

Cyclopogon species are always tricky to recognise, being quite alike.. I wonder if there is more than one species with the coconut smell?

And.. I'd love to have a Cyclopogon longibracteatus, among other species..


Greetings.
