Den moniliforme Sekkou

[myorchid]

Here is a picture of one of my moniliforme's. It is doing really well. It's got a flower and is putting out new growth.

It is hard to see in the picture but the leaves have little yellow striping on them.

The flower has a really sweet smell.

April, could you rephotograph it and use the "+/-" setting on your camera to drop the exposure back a bit so it doesn't washout the image. This is a good tip for other users as well.

You will find this will bring detail back into the white flower.

thanks, I will see what I can do.

April, seems like all your plants are doing well. Good for you. I'm interested in these small Dens. now. Maybe I can pick one up in Japan Town if I ever get there again.

How pretty! The detail shows up a lot better with a slower exposure! It's a little beauty!

April, that den looks very happy! About how big is it? Also, here is a picture of my Raizan when it was in bloom for comparison.

Mine is about 6 inches tall. Your flower is more pink than mine. Does the flower have a sweet smell?
Mine is very sweet smelling. I also think your leaves are a little darker green than mine.

Yours looks great!

The Raizan is supposed to be much darker actually; I hope next year goes better. The smell is very sweet too. Overall the plant is about 3" tall...very tiny! I actually got it from Dr. Lehr, and he's got a picture of a much larger plant. The flowers are amazing on the one he's got displayed.
