Ok, I can't take full credit for this little guy, but I'm pleased with my single first mini-orchid bloom. I got it in the Oak Hill mounted special, and it came in bloom.

Very nice. I got mine from Oak Hill as well at our local show. It has given me one flower so far and is now growing a second spike.

yay! these are awesome little plants! can bloom consecutively from a spike for a while, so don't cut spikes til they are dead - tho you will probably see a new bud forming before the current bloom withers - and can have a few spikes growing at the same time

I have two of them, one from Oak Hill and one from Andy's. One is smaller than the other and has just started a bloom spike while the larger one has two bloom spikes going at the moment. I've already had two flowers off of the larger one, but only one bloom at a time.
I love this one as well!
Just a word though about it - they are known to be able to bloom themselves to death, literally. So, translated, that means be sure you fertilize them weekly.

This is one of my favourites, I still remember their scent.
