Anacheilium cochleatum in bloom
Ok just found out this one has been renamed. hehe. So goes taxonomy.
I recieved this one as an extra in a trade. Nothing like free orchids!! It was a small cutting with two pbulbs, and I never thought it would bloom in just a few months. But here it is, in bloom, with two more buds, and one very fat growing new pbulb. Now I have an octopus orchid, hehe.

I did not detect any fragrance. Is it supposed to have one?

Once they start they just don't stop. Mine has been blooming for about 6 years now without a pause. Sometimes more spikes, sometimes fewer, but always at least a couple.
I even split up and re-potted it about 2 years ago while in bloom. It needed it badly, and it just wouldn't stop blooming. The plant didn't even seem to notice the repotting, just kept going without a pause.
It's blooms are kind of "subtle" for an orchid, but it's one of my favorites (my wife's too).
I hope yours continues to perform for you the way mine has.

A continuous bloomer? Everyone needs one of them in their collection. Looks like a nice little orchids. Wonder if they would do as well in a greenhouse?
