    Just one flower, but I was pleased to have it bloom a year and a half after importing it. This is from China and is one of the cooler growing species. The flower was just a bit over 1".

    I really love this little Phalaenopsis, but here it only blooms at the end of winter!
    I had a lot of success in sowing this species!!

    Nice. That's a lot of roots for a little plant!

    Very nice and looks like it is flourishing in your care.

    This type had really long roots. I'm sure they must photosynthesize that way since the leaves are small and sometimes absent. I say a similar species in Bhutan that had roots going between small shrubs that were at least 3ft long.
