Philippe,
How big does this plant have to reach BEFORE it can bloom ?? I got a few that are 4-5 inches that the seller claimed to be BLOOMING size, but I still have not seen any blooms yet. I bought them last year!. They are in the same location as my VANDAs

Great flowers. Love that first pic and great to see the whole plant.

thanks Rosie and Okie,

Okie, I don't know how big the plants need to reach before blooming but I know that very small plants can bloom. When I bought mine 3 years ago, it was a very small and it had already bloomed.
If you grow it with your Vanda it is perfect, even if the specie can bloom with less light than Vanda.
The flowering season is, from what I have seen, begining at the end of spring to early fall.

Love the lime green on white in the flowers! Looks like a very healthy orchid - good job!

Philippe thanks for the photo of your whole plant, it's super! I now definitely want one as I'm sure I can grow this.

This species can, indeed, start blooming when they are fairly small. Here are two small blooming plants in 3" mesh baskets, in 3.5" pots (8.5cm), photo 1. They just bloomed today. Photo 2 shows they are not accidental.

Because the plants are so small, the flowers are also proportionately small. Flowers will be larger when plants grow larger.
