    A small, deciduous species from S.E. Asia.
    Easy to grow; flowers better if allowed to keep its leaves as long as possible. IMG_4665.JPG

    By extending the growing season (keeping it cool and well watered)

    more colorful, but a close cousin.
    Mine is from Thailand. Note how the two lower sepals are joined into one (under the lip) IMG_4672.JPG
