Sigmatostalix radicans-Ornithophora radicans
I absolutely love these tiny blooms. This is one spike of seven that has opened its blooms.
Wish my pics would load better but here is a shot of this morning flowers.

Don't forget Gomesa radicans, which is actually the most accepted name now. I still prefer Sigmatostalix just because I like to say it...
This fun little weed should be in everyone's collection. If you're an Oncid freak or appreciate easy growing miniatures you're really missing out if you don't have it. Always nice to see.
Note to cat owners: Your feline will not distinguish between this plant and cat grass.

I prefer bird-bearing creeper for a name.

I love this one! I bought mine when it was a Ornithophora radicans. I have been enjoying the fragrance.

Ooops, forgot the Gomesa radicans! It is tagged with Sigmatostalix, a recent purchase from Orchids Blaine so the plant already had nice buds. I've only had it a little over a week. I THINK I saw a huge one at Al's but did not see the tag as the plant was so overgrown. I've been looking for this plant for a little while, and really enjoy it.
It has a nice sweet fragrance and is just such an attractive little thing, the tiny bird like blooms are adorable. Apparently it is easy to grow with intermediate conditions and is a fast growing plant! Yeah! I no longer have a cat so no issues there but I can see where a kitty would be attracted to it.
