Default Epi piliferum

This one has had me wondering

When I made the purchase and saw the pictures of the blooms, I didn't actually pay attention to what size they would be. Over the past month, the plant developed three spikes full of little buds...this morning, two of them have opened and I'm delighted! The blooms are less than half an inch all around...and very fragrant!

That's cute, Susanne! I've never seen this available around here. I well wanted to find one. The violet markings and white background have always attracted me. Times ago I found a similar flower, Epi silvanum, but the marks on the lip are very faint and also less in number. Congrats.
