these last a very long time compared to other ghosts and the scent is AWESOME...it is not a room filler but when you get close it is like lemon and ice cream!

Somehow I missed this when you first posted it DC. I like it. Very different.

I actually have it on my wish list but had never seen one. The list was created from cruising IOSPE for warm growing "non-summer" bloomers.

Now that my shade house is filling up, minis like this guy will become critical to be able to continue collecting.

Thanks for sharing.

glad you noticed it too! it deserves more fanfare- i think the rarity of the dendrophylax ghosts makes the other leafless or semi leafless ones get over looked but they are a ton of fun.

they will love the keys setup you have too! bright and humid

i purchased it at the Miami show and the tag does not have the vendor info on it (huge mistake by them LOL)

When you say "Miami" you mean the Tamiami show 3rd weekend in Jan? I usually make an appearance there. Actually met grower friends from NH there this year.
Don't remember who the seller was huh?

ps---- I just placed an order with Gold Country so I've been placed on "isolation" for a month by my accountant.
When I break free I have another order all tee'd up with someone different and it includes a Chilo. javanica. Not as pretty as your parishii but it will get me started.

that is correct. it was my second or third time at an orchid show and i was a little manic by the end...at first i was making notes and i brought a wish list...by the end i was hanging mounts off of bags and telling my wife to bring the car around LOL

we will have to link up there or Redlands once COVID allows
