Amitostigma keiskei flower bud

[cnycharles]

Formerly or AKA ponerorchis keiskei. A month ago my plant died back. Not knowing anything about longevity and it being a year old, I kept watering a little. Two days ago I saw a tiny slip of green. Yesterday I saw a little more and this morning at work you can already see plant and buds! This grows almost as fast as corn or amaryllis . It is very tiny though, it is in a 2-3/4” pot, sitting in a coffee cup

Very nice! Mine started to grow a little too early this year. I keep it moist during the dormancy, too. But I think mine stays dormant a bit longer.
