This is the first time I saw this species blooming in their habitat overthought this species not rare in my country - Vietnam.
Great to see them in person.

Your pictures of the natural location of the orchids is better than all the culture hints... Please, keep it up.

I'm always amazed at how they cling to such a steep slope.

Superbly photographed and lovely flowers. Seeing the
natural growth habitats, one wonders how we ever grow
them in pots.

We all get used to seeing them in pots. It's easy to forget they grow in the wild. Always amazing to see these type of pictures. Thanks so much for posting.

Another great set of pics.

Have you ever thought of producing a book documenting the beautiful natural heritage of your country?

Thank you!
Love seeing your photos!

What's the estimate on elevation where this species occurs?
Is of similar to the elevation to where henryanum and helenae are found?
How cold does it get during the winter? Day and night?

This species a bit lower than henryanum and helenae, it just around 600m, it could be 1oC during winter but rarely (basically form 5-10o
