Definitely a strange one... Male
Default Definitely a strange one...


My sister in law bought two of these back in january, one fer herself, one for me. Mine had no tag, and hers died. She has been looking for the tag but can't find it.

Anyhoos, it finally bloomed. Please don't tell me it's some sort of cactus or succulent.

btw, the flower is about 1/4" wide if that helps, definitely a miniature.

It's not a cactus or succulent, it's an orchid and a Dendrobium of some kind, but it is very difficult to tell which without seeing the blooms more closely.

No, not Cattleya. Saw the flowers, they're difficult to spot, so I understand why you'd say Cattleya jkofferdahl (there are quite a few rupicolous species of Laelias - quite honestly it was my first guess too).

It's a Dendrobium sp. I recognize the flowers from some pics on Andy's Orchid's website.

If your plant looks like these, then it's Dendrobium rigidum.

Thanks for the correction! Cool little flower - and you're right, I didn't notice the flower when I first posted (though I'd still have been wrong).
