Pholidota sp.

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

This was a real find! I almost went home without catching this plant at the July 9th - 12th Santa Barbara International Orchid Show.

It's an unnamed species of Pholidota. If it looks like a small plant with small flowers, I guarantee you it isn't!

Each flower is a little under a 1/2" tall.

There are 5 spikes in total.

Nice fragrance too! The fragrance reminds me of Star Jasmine.

Nice indeed, good growing. How do you grow yours Philip? I got one in May at VOS show and sale. Mine is in a 3 inch pot, it came with 4 PB's and 2 spikes, love the smell. It has since taken off and now has 8 PB's. Likes a lot of water, I find.

Very nice. I like the jasmine bonus.

@ Swamper: Thank you.

@ bellini girl: I grow mine outdoors and mounted. It's in bright shade.

It likes a fair amount of water, but it doesn't need to be terribly wet.
