I seem to recall some discussion on here about that picture but I cannot recall the name

I don't know, but it sure is cute! :wink:

I get the picture some years ago from Vietnam and put it also in the net. A frinend of mine made the picture on a market in Vietnam, but the price for this plant was too high. So he made only the picture. It is perhaps a new species, but was never described and is nameless.
So we are waiting for this exciting species.

This shall be the plant

When I visited the vietnamese orchid society in Los Angeles, I showed also this picture. So it comes on the webpage.

Here the link to my presentation in LA, including also this species.

Oh yeah, I remember from your lecture in Orlando.

I think this was in an earlier thread, also.

It sure makes me wonder what else is out there, undiscovered and un-described.

So great flowers!!!!

First one I know what it is, not worth discussing...

Second one is a helenae "vinicolor" as they sell it in Vietnam. No value at all, the bloom is identical to a normal helenae, flowers a bit muddier.

OK, please send as much of this valueless stuff to me as possible asap, thank you!

It seems to be a dwarf form of callosum. For sure it is not like the first pics, which is clearly a variety of helenae.

 

[Hakone]

please wait , if it flower in this year :sob:

The picture of the dark flowers, look like inmature flower buds...peeled open. callosum is a good starting point for IDing it.
