Pecteilis radiata, Ginga

[naoki]

This one unexpectedly flowered out-of-season (or significantly delayed development). This is my first year growing this, and it is very different from other orchids I have grown, so I don't know what I'm doing. All 3 bulbs of this variety survived, and two of them flowered. I lost 1 out of 3 in another variety (called Amanogawa), and 1 is going to flower. So it is not so bad for the first try. We'll see if they will come back next year.

I included a bit more info about how I grew this summer and a link to an excellent article by Tom (Botany Boy) in my blog post (here is the link).
