Habenaria myriotricha
my first success with Habenaria  Interesting to see that the "red" spot on the labellum, is absent during the first two days after the flowers open...

That's beautiful! I've never seen one of those. You seem to grow quite a few unusual and rare orchids. Thanks for posting.

Wow, I love this one, but I've heard it's not an easy one. Great work flowering it, it looks fantastic.

I have killed more of them than what I have been able to grow 
This one, warm warm warm, no water until the new leave were about 2 cm long, and then I watered regularly but without letting the ground be too wet. Medium: a mix of garden soil, perlite, small size bark, and lava stone. |
