| A) Phalaenopsis parishii. Close up June 15th 2014. |
This miniature orchid has a flower size under 2 cm (3/4"). In nature, this orchid is found distributed between India and the South East Asian regions. It loves the warm climate but prefers medium to low light to grow. Imagine it growing among moss covered trees in the jungle. Normally it would produce five to six flowers simultaneously in Spring. Well, we have nine but Arne is not too happy with the leaves. He put the orchid too close to the light in the orchidarium and the leaves got "burnt/damaged". Alas, we are human after all.

| B) April 28th 2014. I started taking pictures when we saw two flower stalks peeping through. |
 |
| C) May 28th 2014. Flowers beginning to open up. |
 |
D) June 7th 2014. The flowers are really small and not as dense as our Ascofinetia Cherry Blossom Carmela (posted May 26th).

 |
| E) June 15th 2014. All 9 flowers in full bloom today. |
The flowers are so tiny that I have a little trouble taking a good photo of them up close. Maybe it is time to get a better camera, (note to self).
