Tiny plant but the inflorescence is the same length as the leaves.

Interesting flower

Interesting, the flowers are very similar to those of Dockrillia.

That appears to be an alba variety. Mine just bloomed with pinkish flowers - well, they look pink at a quick glance, but are actually pale, but heavily ruby-veined, with yellow in the lip. So sweet smelling! Spicy and fruity. Only last two days - but has bloomed twice this year.

This plant came from Kawamoto Orchids in HI.

Mine nearly died but I manage to save a keiki which is doing well now with new growth... I love this species! It was happy for a couple years, bloomed at least a few times a year for me, had maybe 10 flowers on it at one time... flowers only last a day or two unfortunately. I think i kept it too wet, and it didn't get enough light so it slowly exhausted itself perhaps...

Yes debarsoon looks like a alba form, or could be quadrangulare, which has either white or cream flowers but otherwise very similar.

Mine's flowers is like D novice's, Are you growing yours on a windowsill? I tried growing mine outside with lower humidity, and now the keiki is back into the tank... And debarson, how are you growing yours?

yes mine is in a windowsill, gets dunked about 5 days / week in summer, 3 in winter. the flowers don't last long, that's just how it is

Such a healthy looking plant. So pretty.

I thought I read somewhere that they like bright light, and orchidspecies.com says they like being mounted; mine came mounted on tree fern, and I backed another larger piece onto it to give it room to grow. And it gets nice sideways light, mounted at right angle to the window.
