Orchids in Bloom: Stelis glomerosa 'Lucille'

What a flower ... never seen this species before. As you mentioned ball-like flower, it certainly is, these remind glass balls of me. :bowing

Thanks, Jouni. I like the idea of glass balls, perhaps Christmas decorations.

I've never seen anything like it. Cool. Very unusual. I agree with Joule, they look like little glass balls.

Thanks, Carrie.

Yes, a good idea, but from where can you find christmas tree small enough to put these glass jewels to hang ... ;)

It would indeed have to be tiny. Perhaps a miniature tree in a dollhouse.

Oh how DARLING! Excellent closeup!

Ron, your photography always amazes me! I do so admire your work! Just one great shot after another.

Keep up the great work!

Judi

Thanks for the kind comments, Judi. Much appreciated.

No, no!! Thank YOU!!!

I was thinking dollhouse too. :lol:

We were talking about glass balls ... it just occurred to me ... Lucille Ball :rofl:

Hilarious!

Wow! Very cool!

Thanks, Sonya.

Thanks for sharing as I will probably not see one in bloom for real.

I have one of these. It doesn't like living with me :( Admittedly, I haven't thought much about its optimum care.

I always thought the blooms looked like tiny jellyfish.

Thanks, Anon. Like the idea of Jellyfish, too.
