I guess with Angraecoides you have more choices, don't you, Ross?

Hi Mauro...that is a wonderful miniatum, and the detail in the close-up is amazing, especially for such a small flower.

By the way, they are quite vigorous as you've pointed out...and this little guy will be busting out of it's container in no time. Unless of course it's just a small piece of a much larger plant already.

Dear Mauro,

Your plant is actually Ascocentrum garayi from Thailand that was long mistaken for A. miniatum. The true A. miniatum is from Java and has reddish-orange flowers and longer, curved leaves.

Hope that helps, Eric

I guess that there's a lot of garayi mislabeled as 'miniatum' here in Brazil, then! Thanks, Eric, I'm changing the label of mine to Ascocentrum garayi.

Here's another from Thailand.


This one is much the same except for the colour.
