Inobulbon munificum
 

The plant is growing in a 6-inch plastic basket with New Zealand sphagnum moss as the media. This is the first bloom for this plant. I had another Inobulbon munificum which rotted out and died a couple of years ago. I was lucky to get this plant to replace the one that died. Inobulbon munificum is related to the dendrobium family and is grown under dendrobium conditions.

Wow, beautiful. Never seen this one before.

Note that the photo to open this thread was taken in May 2015. This same plant is blooming again in August 2016. Unfortunately, the flowers are not long lasting. They will start closing within a week.
