My First micranthum

[Happypaphy7]

It was in low sheath from late January to early April and I thought it was dead and dry.
It started to rise around mid April and now it is in full bloom!
It was fun to watch the pouch to ballon up.

Not the type of flower I was expecting, but exciting!!

The flower is rather smallish while the plant is very big spanning 9in across, the largest one of the bunch I have.

 

[Ozpaph]

Id be happy with that.

 

[Dandrobium]

Congrats! I'd be happy too. Its such a slow grower, well, for me at least. Good job getting it to bloom!

 

[Happypaphy7]

I wanted round petals instead of this triangle.
The leaves are beautiful and that's enough for now.

As soon as others bloom...

 

[eggshells]

Yeah, its pretty nice.

 

[Markhamite]

Loving it!

 

[mrhappyrotter]

Oh, you poor thing. Send it to me, I've got a nice big farm where it can chase rabbits and run free. :rollhappy:

It does sound like a pretty large growing clone. That's as big as some clones of P. Fanaticum.

Actually, I like that extreme triangle shape. Odd; but, interesting. 'Wish it were mine.

Lovely flower the pouch is great, their is a part me that agrees about the triangle shape yet there is part of me that really like the difference of having the triangle shape..

 

[SlipperKing]

Triangle or not, be happy they're fully marked and beautifully so.

 

[Guldal]

I like the triangle shape, too! And the vivid and clearly marked colouring also!

If it weren't for the paper work, I would be happy to welcome it in Denmark!!

 

[GuRu]

No matter, it's a lovely flower.....despite or perhaps because of its triangle shape.

 

[NYEric]

Not bad. I would think round petals would be nice but those are interesting too.

 

[SlipperFan]

I like it also. The triangular shapes enhance this flower, IMO.
