First blooms for this little equestris keiki. I recieved 2 keikis as a gift from an OB member in the spring, and they are both blooming despite their small size (largest leaf is 2in). They have been blooming since early July, and are still pushing out buds!

Thanks everyone for the comments!

It's because of the orchids that I have developed an interest in photography and really try to take nice shots of them to show them at their best. No fancy camera here, just the average point n shoot that has a few manual settings.

Wonderful flower and photography, Camille! I, too, received an equestris kieki from a generous OB member. Its biggest leaf is about 1 inch, but still growing. Maybe I'll be able to show pics of mine in a year or so!

Great growing!
