Thank you Bud :-)

Very nice photography of these small flowers. I'd have to say this is one of the easiest little orchid weeds I ever grew. For me it bloomed consistently in a north window. I did find it to be a bit of a magnet for spider mites in low humidity.

But I can make Telipogon grow and spike here in Florida :-)))))
