Gastrochilus japonicus, in flower again, unfortunately it let die some buds on the tip of the spike... but I'm happy that we could reflower it at all... don't know the reason for this

Nice flowers. I never met a Japanese orchid I didn't like.

Cheers.

Very nice, Sylvi. Flower looks a bit like Sedirea japonica.

I have one of these too. What care did you give it? This will be my first year attempting to rebloom it.

Hi Paul! It is really a cutie and is very easy to grow in our "environment" - maybe the best is to read our (don't have a split personality

Gastrochilus japonicus lives in the later, bigger version of our terrarium - hope that helps
