A much anticipated flowering. This under incandescent lighting. Flowers expand after they open like a balloon! From Diamond Orchids.

Gorgeous flower!! I'm always amazed how sometimes the tiniest of plants produce such large showy flowers.

I had bought one of these some years ago, but sadly it died of rot one rainy summer before I ever got to see it bloom...
