I got this little doritis hybrid at a local farmer's market. The name tag says TS Micky and some numbers without any parentage. It is sold at the market pretty much all year around. I was never really drawn to flowers with dots, but one day in August, this one somehow appealed to me and so I brought one home.
It had about 9 flowers/buds on it when first brought home. The tip of the spike continued to elongate making 7 more flowers and it has five of those left on the spike although it doesn't really show there are five in the picture. The tip of the spike looks like it is going to make some more buds. I guess this one is one of those that continue on blooming on an old spike in addition to making new spikes.
It is also making a new leaf as well. I think I will keep this one and see how long the spike gets.
It is quite cute.
By the way, I grow this one under a halogen lamp along with a few other mini orchids like Twinkle, tolumnia, and two regular sized paphiopedilums.
