gastrochilus japonicus
This little guy is probably my favorite orchid in my entire collection. It wasn't doing very well, after moving to my new (no longer new) home a few years ago. I had trouble finding the right environment for it and then last year I rescued two kittens...you know how that goes! Since living inside my indoor greenhouse, with the roof open (a small standing greenhouse, too hot if upper window is closed) it has bloomed!

Wonderful!
I love this one, mine has to be one of my favourite plants. Your's looks to be mounted like mine and it seem seems to like growing that way.
I think now you've find the right place for it you should see it flower a lot. Mine certainly is in flower a couple of times a year.

Ooh, I love these guys! Yours is beautiful!! Great growing!   Mine is also in bloom, & I'll be posting mine when all the buds are finished opening, in a day or two.  ...It's funny how much larger they seem like they are when u see them in pictures..  
Rosie, I had forgotten that it flowered more than once a year! Yay! This will be my first time flowering this little cutie |

I got one a few weeks ago. So I'll have to wait a bit for flowers. So far, lots of little roots are emerging. |

Checking back I think these spikes will actually be the third set in the last 12 months |

Very cute. Such a cool looking flower. Is it just me? I see little bellies on the lips that I want to rub to see if they purr.
