Rhy retusa

That's also imported from Tailand and also not an easy plant to grow outdoors. The blooms are charming and without humidity, the buds tend to fade and the spikes would become short.

Nice Pheli.
Here's mine about a month ago.
I grow outdoors as well. In the Florida Keys near Key West.

Mine is super slow growing. I think I've had it over 10 years. Every year it grows 1 new leaf, then drops a bottom leaf but every year it rewards me with 2 beautiful spikes.

The fragrance reminds me of a New England autumn hike and coming across wild purple grapes ripening on the vine.

I love it.
