You may remember this plant from
last year. It has again decided to bloom for us in September (it's still going strong now).

Again, it won "Best Miniature" on display at the EPOS September meeting plant table (we also took along the
Jumellea comorensis you may remember from the previous post and our
Dendrochilum glumaceum). It was pure white when we displayed it, but there seems to be a little damage to the blooms now (the slight brown discolouration at the back of the lip), presumably from being jumbled around during the ~260km round trip. The blooms aren't as profuse this year; I'm chalking this up to less humidity (because our humidifiers have all broken). Still a very charming plant, and one day I may get around to mounting it, which will let it show off its flowers to best effect! Again, it has a fairly heady jasmine smell, but not nearly as pronounced as last year (when it had more than twice as many flowers).
