Orchids in Bloom: Scaphosepalum anchoriferum

nice! I thought the flowers are bigger but they are realy "mini" :)

Thanks, Paul and Xristie. The flowers are indeed quite small, but the plant is always in bloom.

so it blooms all year round?

Xristie, it is rarely out of bloom since it blooms successively on each spike. My plant happens to be out of bloom at the moment, but that's because it was doing poorly - needed to be repotted - and when I repotted it I cut all the spikes off.

I like that a lot. It has a sort of 'turned back' look at the top of the flower which is cool looking. I was suprised when I saw the picture showing the pendent nature of the flowers, I can see now why you cut the spikes off when you repotted.

nice one... hope it will recover soon and start blooming again :)

Thanks, it's recovering nicely and looks to be putting out some enw spikes.
