Haraella rectrocalla - My "3 amigos" spiking!
Ok, for anyone looking for really cute and absolutely amazing mini orchid baby, I suggest to go for Haraella retrocalla. I got these 3 as my very first mini orchids in July, have never had any mini prior. They are all in different environments - one is mounted in my small glass, one is in the small wood terrarium and one is on hygrolon cylinder. I do not want to take much credit, but all of them started to spike and bloom probably some month after I got them and they never stopped since - constantly growing new spikes, and re blooming, as you can see, some have even 2 blooms open and 3rd spike growing. My care - keeping them moist, never letting dry completely, fertilizing weakly every 2 weeks or so. I love the size of the blooms in comparison with the plant and also they do have nice citrusy fragrant:-)

They are so cute! I have one on a stick with two spikes, it is kept in a jar. The previous spike had only one flower and I could not detect fragrance. Every time I sniffed it, the only scent I got was that of wet wood.  |

Carpe Diem, I usually SNIFF in the morning when I take care of the hygrolon and change water or fertilize:-)
