Stereochilus sp.
It is a small sized plant usually blooms in spring. The tiny flowers are less than 1" but have pleasing fragrance.

Hi Pheli, Very cute blooms. Looks like vanda-type leaves. I'm not familiar with this type orchid, but she is a cutie!  |

Really is a "small" plant but very charming at that! I love the small ones but have trouble as I only have G/H no cooling and they require too much attention.

Thanks for looking.
Hi Kiki,
The fleshy leaves are very much like those of Asctm. miniatum, which means that they could tolerate dryness in winter. But in cultivation, higher humidity is still recommended for this one.
It suddenly strikes me that hybridizing this one with some mini vandas such as A. ampullaceum, A. miniatum, Neo. falcata or Christensonia vietnamica may create some lovely offspring.
Dorothy, there are some little species similar to this, but most people prefer modern vanda hybrids and neglect these natural guys.

Beautiful. I love it and may need to look for one for myself. Am I allowed to buy a Mothers Day orchid for myself? - - Marilyn
