Ionopsis utricularioides
 

Short plants, about 3" tall, with tall stiff spikes, topped by branching sprays. Sorry I was busy & waited to long to photograph ... half the flowers fell off.

wow must have been quite a show!!!!!!!! I have never seen one of these before . If possible could you please post a shot of the whole plant?

Really pretty, even with only some of the flowers.

The spike looks like a miniature cherry tree in full bloom. Very neat. :)

The blooming section shown is about 8" long, the hard slender stalk is about 12-16" long, so it's hard to get a meaningful photo. The plant itself is like a large equitant oncidium (maybe about 3" tall).

Neat one Harry. It must have been quite a sight in full bloom! :)
