Schoenorchis scolopendria

[NeofinetiaCanada2014]

I got this tiny plant from J&L in the Montreal show earlier this year and was surprised with its tiny pink blooms months later! It's been opened around 2 weeks ...

The flowers look like kids in pink clothing sliding down a green mossy hill with fun and laughter. What a delight!

The plant is no more than 1.5 inches in height and blooms are around 1/3 inch. The vandaceous leaves grow tight into the mount and roots are tiny and deep. It grows in the top part of the warm tank, sprayed with RO water daily, fertilize with fish emulsion every 2-3rd watering ... Light levels is bright shade around 1000-1200 fc... Tip: I make sure it is completely dry on plant parts esp growing tip by night time to prevent rot...

Happy growing!

Very nice, I love the live moss around!

Very nice!

We got a S. fragrans several years ago just because we like small species, but were completely charmed by it when it flowered. As we've seen other species we've gotten them too. We think they're all great.

Miniatures are great! Small foot area with lots of joy, like neos!!

What a exquisite orchid and flower! I really like your mount, too. The moss just looks great!
I have purchased two schoenorchis fragrans this year as they are really nice little orchids. I like the form of your schoenorchids, too, with the leaves a little further apart.

Thanks Leafmite! I am sure you will be happy with the fragrans. They are adorable!

Gonna try to post a better pic of my plant
