Dendrochilum tenellum (Coelogyne tenella)
 

Plant name: Dendrochilum tenellum (Coelogyne tenella)
Plants of the world link: Coelogyne tenella (Nees & Meyen) M.W.Chase & Schuit. | Plants of the World Online | Kew Science
Habitat: Wet tropical forests of the Philippines
From: Andy's orchids (2019)
Potting medium: Fine grade orchid bark & perlite
Notes: Likes regular moisture with some drying in between. I often see these mounted, but I think it would be difficult to keep them watered enough. I love how the plant completely transforms from a clump of grass into the showers of tiny sprays of flowers. I also love the blooming season, right in the dead of winter when we need these cute little flowers the most. No fragrance that I can tell.

pretty! my intrusive thoughts want me to waddle my hand cross that batch of grass. :biggrin:

So nice. Got much bigger from the past YouTube posts. Seems to enjoy tent living. I also appreciate the uncluttered background when photos are taken. ;)
