Cleisostoma williamsonii
 

This is a gift from my friend Linda :dance13:

That is sooooo cute!!!

Nice plant SUSAN and nice gift tooo...
Can you tell me : that black things are plastic??? Are working good???

Yes, they are called cable ties or zip ties and come in many different sizes and colors. I use them a lot on my orchids.

I really like that! What a wonderful bloom.

WoHoo! Another wonderful mini! Really nice.

Thanks everybody :)

This is the second Cleisostoma that I have...I just love them! :cloud9:

Thats a neat little guy! The plant looks kind of like a terete Vanda. Are they related? Is there any scent? Thanks!

Hi Steve :waving

Yes, Cleisostoma are a member of the vanda family.

This one, williamsonii, favors the terete leaf form while the other one I have, saggitiforme is more like a strap leaf...but much smaller ;)

They're perfect vandas for really small spaces...as long as you have room for the spikes :)

Very neat, Sue!! What a lovely gift. Those are real cuties.

Very cute!

Hi Susanne,

This guy is really neat...and a vandaceous plant at that! And to think that I haven't heard of it before...what's up with that? :scratchhead:

In any event, it sure looks healthy and happy. :drool: Does it have a fragrance?

Hi David :D

You should check into the Cleisostoma chids...they are really cute! There aren't many hybrids either...a species snob's dream! :rofl:

Very nice, Sue...very cool little dude!!!

I'm going to ask the question since I didn't see if you answered it the first three times it was asked :rofl: ....IS THIS PLANT FRAGRANT?

:coverlaugh:

Sooooorrrrryyyyyy!

No fragrance that I've noticed yet :)

Ummmm...on your recommendation...they are now on my list of chids to research! :D Thanks!
