Dimerandra stenopetala

I LOVE this orchid! It has been an extremely easy grower for me and has not minded the outrageous summer temps or the many, many hours of direct sun that I grow it in. It can be 105°F, in 3pm tropical sun, and it will only grow faster. It gets watered every day with the hose. And this one is a blooming powerhouse. It took a little break from blooming from mid-June until now, but it is starting to ramp up and should continue to give me flowers until next May. The flowers are fairly small, very sparkly, and each one lasts a few weeks. There are about 20+ buds on it right now. Never cut the old spikes! Even if they are dry and crispy. New growths or new spikes will come out from the old ones (last two pics). It’s a great little thing that has an attractive growth habit that stays reasonably tidy. It’s a nice one for any collection but especially for hot areas where a lot of orchids seem to struggle
