Tolumnia Jairak Flyer 'Coco Drop'
After seeing Hawiaan Sunshine's pics, I almost hate to post this.

Wow, how pretty! I have the Jairak Flyer Fantastic and it is red, very different than this. I love the color of your Coco Drop.
Mine held its flowers for almost 2 months, the spike is still green so I've not cut it off. Thanks for sharing your Coco Drop.

Haha I have Red Barry too, it's not flowered yet though. I bought these two from Hausermans last summer and they have been healthy plants, wish Red Barry would bloom.
I have a Velutinum I received as a Christmas gift this year and a Sylvestris El Gato I've had a few years. That little one has never bloomed. It's so stinking cute and tiny growing on a wine cork, would it be too much to ask for a few blooms? I hear they are reluctant to flower but geeeez.
Tolumnia are so different than many other orchids, I've always liked them. You have 5 total Tolumnia or Red Barry has 5 flowers? Can't wait until mine flowers.

So cute. You seem to be doing very well by them. I have yet to try these. But I saw some a few years ago at the greenhouse and they are so cute. The colors are gorgeous.
