Awesome. I love Ophrys but my chances of growing them here in the subtropics is not so good.

Wow very unusual.

I grow all of my orchids exclusively indoors. I wish that I could mimic their natural seasonal cycle better, but I'm not quite there yet. I have the same issue with my Cypripediums. They grow wild here in the Cleveland, Ohio area but mine bloom indoors about 2 months before those growing wild in the area.

Great job, and patience!

Awesome!

?What is seramis?

I give you kudos for succeeding with cyps at all, JP. I understand they are usually very difficult to grow indoors.

Thank you. It's a trade name for a product (from Germany I think) that looks like small chuncks of red brick.

Awesome looking flower, thanks for sharing.

Wow, this is so cool. Can't believe how small it started, I would never have dared try to grow something so tiny. Great growing, it looks so good!

Now the plant has two open flowers. I don't see any more buds. Not showy, but it is "cute".
