Hi everybody!
I bought this little orchid about two years ago. Unfortunately, even if the plant was flowering, I couldn't enjoy its flowers because I was away for a trip.
After that I had been waiting months and months in which I saw only roots and leaves: the plant was growing perfectly but without any flower.

Few months ago, suddenly, the huge surprise: two stems appeared among the leaves, followed by two other stems dew weeks ago.

I have to admit that this plant looks wonderfully even without any flower: neat growing, no diseases and the slab adorned by a fern and a moss meadow.

Here you can see it a few days before the first bud opening:





Then, I had only to wait for the blast:






HERE you can find the page of this Sbrindrilla on my web site
Bye
