Tiny blooming Podangis dactyloceras
Sorry I haven't been on OB very much lately, we're moving out end of June and I'm spending my days packing stuff (no movers to help), and right now I'm in the Netherlands again for some fencing tournaments and job interviews. So busy busy!!
Anyway, I wanted to share a pic of my little tiny Podangis, who is in full bloom right now. Have had it 2 years, and it finally bloomed for me, with 10 spikes on 3 growths. A shame that the top 3-5 buds blasted on some spikes, but it's quite a show. I added a pic of the plant in my hand, because otherwise it's hard to realize how small it is! And I have a very small hand!

Thanks for the nice comments!
Nenella, I did intend to enter this one in the calendar contest, but it bloomed 10 days after the deadline. Can't even say I'll enter it next year, my pics are too small. Meant to use my mom's camera, but with me+the orchid in NL, and mom+camera in France, that didn't work out too good.
@ Rosie, glad you like the fencing pics! That's my other hobby after orchids  The only thing is that buying the equipment hits the wallet harder than buying orchids does.... So I have to alternate between buying a piece of gear and buying orchids.

what a nice looking podangis you have there . If I said that to anyone at work they would probably take a swipe at me...
fencing and orchids. A whole new world of cut flowers
