It's beautiful.

But someone explain to me please: This looks like it had 3 sepals and 3 petals, plus a lip?

The labellum (bottom petal) is reduced to looking like the other petals, the whole structure in the centre is the column.

An orchid without a lip - cool!

I love the Australian terrestrials!:clap::drool: Good job! Where did you get it?

[cnycharles]

thanks

 

[biothanasis]

WOW!!! I wish I could get some of these...!!!

Wet cold winters and dry warm-hot summers is the general rule for the med terrestrials... i guess...!

If You prefer a more decent color in flower take T. luteo-cilleum

Nice flowers, but I'd rather go with the rubra for the bright colour!
