This is one of the most intresting orchids into my collection.

What a cool shape. I've just looked it up and it has cool flowers too. The info I found says it's one of the few that grow in desert climates.

Yes RosieC,is actually a xerophyte orchid.
As I grow mostly cactus & succulents this was an addition to both of my collection succulents & orchids.
Thank you for your comment,as always you are so kind!

woah! I didnt expect to see something like that :) Very unusual looking. How do you take care of it? Does it require winter rest?

Anisa,
This is actually terrestrial orchid.The soil mix is a cactus soil mix with extra grit.It needs a lot of sun and at the growing season 1-2 waterings per week.From now on I will keep it dry for the winter and with a lot of sun.(we have a lot of sunny day even in the winter, here in Athens GR.)
