hi all,
I recently saw a Macodes sanderiana ( or gold leaf jewel orchid) on the net. I realy like it and i would just like to know does it flower, because all of the pictures that i have seen dont show any flowers. Also if anyone has a pic of one i'd really like to see it.
thank you.
Stefan

hi InspirChid,
i originally saw this orchid on; Photo and some information about Macodes sanderiana
but it doesn't give the plant justice really, so a better site is;
IOSPE PHOTOS
thank you for replying so fast

All orchids will bloom. Those "jewel orchids" though, tend to be grown for their foliage, as the flowers are often small and not particularly attractive.
