Phalaenopsis parishii
|
This orchid originates from the eastern Himalayas to Indochina. A hot to warm growing miniature orchid and each flower is less than 2 cm across or 3/4 inches. This orchid is commonly known as Parish's Phalaenopsis, named after an English orchid collector in Burma in the 1800s.

| A) May 9th, 2015. We noticed four flower stems developing. |
We noticed that one of the roots decided to adhere to the yellow plastic label (A). We tried to detach it but it was a 'no go'. I guess that is why orchids are epiphytic. This orchid loves warm condition and partial shade. We keep this in our basement under lights.

D) June 7th, 2015. Here's Anthony providing perspective on how small this Phalaenopsis parishii really is.

| E) By June 7th, we had twenty four flowers. |
Clearly this orchid is doing very well since we got it in 2012. It is the third time it flowered in our hands and this year we successfully have twenty four flowers in contrast to nine last year.
