Patty what a great mini orchid. I would like to have a Schoenorchis fragrans in my terrarium, but I am out of space.

The flowers are open! This is the best bloom it has had, there are so many !!!

BJ, surly you have space for this tiny one.

Wow beautiful! What a show for such a little one.

What a beautiful orchid and it is small enough that I might have a home for one.

Amazing!

What a lovely display! Mine isn't doing anything but growing--no sign at all of a spike. I had to take it out to check. Yours is magnificent. Have you detected any fragrance?

My scolopendria surprised me by being fragrant so I am hopeful that this one will be so, too.

Thank you everyone for the compliments. This plant has always flowered, each year at this time. I was so surprised to have three spikes, it is just loaded with flowers.

I remember the first year it bloomed for me I was sooo inpatient waiting for the spikes to grow, seemed to take forever. Now I just watch and anticipate the awesomeness. I wish I had a dozen!

Thanks Leafmite! It has outdone itself this year, definitely. Sadly, I’ve never been able to detect more than a light sweetness fragrance. They are said to small like grape jelly.

I have two scolopendria, both have flowered though nothing like the fragrans. In fact one of them is flowering now with only 2 or 3 flowers.

I’ve often wondered how/when the fragrans multiplies? I’ve seen pictures of nice size clumps and I would love to grow this into a nice clump. Or a mount just covered in them, hmmm maybe I just need to purchase a few more!

The Schoenorchis fragrans was actually my first mini mini. The madness began at Andy’s :)

Andy's is a great place. :) That is where I bought my pair of schoenorchis.

Lovely little jewel on a stick. So great you can grow these minis.

Patty, after drooling over your lovely little plant the past 2 years, I decided that buying new orchids was the perfect way to celebrate 1 month at my new job. A tiny adorable Schoenorchis fragrans has now joined my collection! This afternoon I'll try to find a nice glass container to grow it in.

I knew it was small, but it wasn't until I unwrapped it and held it in my hand that I realized just how tiny this species is. I love it already! :love:

Any culture tips regarding temperature and light? I'll try doing as you do, and keep the container closed at night. Is there anything at the bottom for humidity?
