I have 4 of these in my collection and all of them are putting out buds and blooms for me

The growing conditions for me are 60%-70% shade and need a winter rest, they do well mounted. Heres the first one that the buds are opening, I think this is the only alba form I have. I'll post the others later

Very pretty, such a tiny delicate flower!

Thank you for sharing ... we are not familiar with this is genus and species and it is great to see on OB. Thank you.

I am not familiar with this orchid plant. Thanks for posting. It seems to be a hardy creeping orchid plant with such delicate tiny flower that is smaller than your thumbnail....lovely colors and the lip is bigger than the petals....my internet research say it is fragrant=can you describe to us the scent?

Yours looks terrific! Mine is just budding up now. I grow mine in a 6" tree fern pot. It is a vigorous grower and is already starting to cover the sides of the "pot".

This one is also known as an Encyclia, though Dinema is the RHS recognized genus.

Wonderful!

Thanks! Can't wait to see yours

Quite nice. Rarely see alba varieties.

IME, Bud, it is a very durable micro mini & an easy grower. It can handle quite a bit of abuse for such a small plant and seems quite adaptable to different conditions.

This one has jumped genera on more than on occasion. I recall it also being known as Epidendrum at one point.
