Cynorkis gibbosa

[My Green Pets]

They somehow remind me of classical Chinese art! Like little temples or something. Beautiful

Many thanks, they are really beautiful, one of my favorite terrestrials:-)

Very unusual and lovely. What does the plant look like?

Thanks, it has actually amazing foliage, nice spotted leaves (different than guttata with only green leaves).

I just wanted to mention that these blooms seems to love much shorter than the once on guttata, which lasted in bloom for weeks! The oldest first open blooms on gibbosa are dying after only some week. But not matter what, amazing orchid!

Goreous!

Tommy, how do you grow this guy? Especially how do you keep it during the dormancy?

naoki, like all other terrestrials, Habenaria kind, when it goes sleep I only mist every now and then not letting the mix go bone dry, and hope that it wakes up next year, so far it does :-) But I suck with terrestrials, so the fact this one re bloomed is kinda success :-)

Thanks Tommy!
