Den arcuatum

[debrasoon]

Blooming. It's not a very large plant and is mounted. Anyone knows if it is Normal for the leaves to turn yellow and look like they are going to fall off? The flowers are on a leafless pseudobulb. Is that what I can expect from the other pseudobulbs? Ie leaves drop off n then flowering begins?

The flowers are small n lovely but rearward facing.

Oops. Sorry the third photo is a lametallum. They are smaller than the arcuatum. Didn't see carefully on the small iphone photos.

Cute

I'm not familiar wth the species, but it belongs to the same section (Calcarifera) as victoria-reginae, which is deciduous, dropping leaves from matured canes after a few months. Spikes may appear on mature canes with leaves, tho leaves usually begin to drop shortly after.

Thanks. Appreciate it. The blooms are larger today.
