Phalaenopsis deliciosa, update, a new bloom
This one is widespread from Sri Lanka to India east to the Philippines and Sulawesi. Closely related to P. chibae and P. mysorensis, it belongs to the section Delisiosae. This guy is small, about 6 cm tall, add another 5 cm to the peduncle (spike). I can't fit my head into the terrarium where it is growing, so I can't tell you if its fragrant. Anyone know if its supposed to be?
The flower is 1cm wide and a little over 1 cm tall.

Nice growing Tin! What a charming little bloom. I bought an nbs deliciosa a few months ago - so far it is one of two phals I have not yet killed.
I don't recall reading that they are fragrant. hmmm
Thanks for sharing the pic!

So delicate, so pretty! I never knew there were tiny flowering Phals before now.
Great growing, Tindo~
