This one is VERY important!
I have looked EVERYWHERE and can not find any pictures of it blooming even though it has bloomed twice. It is the smallest orchid flowers i have ever seen anywhere. The picture is do have is about a week before it bloomed this last winter
The flowers have a soft, but sweet smell, look like almost tiny tiny off white/almost pink-ish popcorn

This one was given to me.


Actually, i've only bought one of the maybe 50 orchids i've owned in the last four years (i killed them all, till the last few when i finally inured out how to not drown them)

I wanna know how to re bloom all of my flowers. This and the next one down especially

Since i got it, that plant put out five spikes for a total bloom time of 22 months STRAIGHT!!!
It grew a baby but i accidentally broke it off, so it put out the keiki, which i split when it was 10 inches tall, then it put out another baby from its base that is already about 24 inches tall. GO BABY, GO!!!
My theory is that this is my good luck orchid, its the first one i didn't kill, and haven't lost one since.

This one was purchased on the side of the road by my last roommate. When i moved out they didn't water it, the thing was almost dead so i asked to take it. The plant was basically dead, my wife insisted i not even try to keep it.

I cut the spike, which at the time i didn't know could re-bloom, but it did, then it sent out another new spike. And grew all new leaves without ever stopping blooming. The leaves have now reached 5 inshes wide, and 13 inches long. I have never seen one of these THIS BIG!
I don't care what it really is, just showing off my generic little (well, big now!) orchid.

this one is Oncidium alliance, and by the description of the blooms, probably Oncidium genus

this is a cymbidium - needs a good deal of light and a period of at least a couple weeks in fall with cool night temps to initiate spikes. 50 degrees or lower. They can take down to freezing for short periods.
