Dockrillia linguiforme stalks!
 

Hello fellow orchites!

My first ever orchid to flower will be the Tongue Orchid!

I saw "sticks" poking out from behind the leaves and almost snapped them off BUT then i realised they were the flower stalks! Very excited!

Although, i thought they would flower in spring, like most native dendrobiums/native orchids of north QLD. What time of the year do yours flower?

Cheers,
Kimmy

Here is the stalks of the Tongue orchid:)

Cool :)

http://www.orchidspecies.com/docklinguiforme.htm says these bloom fall-winter

Cheers mate:)

This might be a silly question but what season is fall?
I live in Aussie and i know that "fall" is not summer haha

Autumn. Which region do you live in?

Lol. Fall (aka autumn) technically started yesterday, bit hard to tell here in the tropics though :)

It is summer everyday up here, but the winter is a bit cooler:p It is good that our orchids grow well though:)
