Haraella retrocalla
|
This a rather new orchid in our collection. We bought our Haraella retrocalla in December 2018 during an excursion to a local orchid nursery. I convinced Arne to get it because it is a miniature vandaceous orchid from Taiwan. A quick google of the flowers, was enough for Arne to say yes. My first post was in July 27, 2019. It came in a small plastic pot but I had bought a coconut to get fresh coconut flesh for cooking and suggested Arne to use the nut shell which I was going to discard. Worked perfectly!

| A) Two lovely flowers this time around, June 22nd. |
 |
| B) The roots wrap themselves very firmly to the coconut shell. |
 |
| C) Roots all around. |
|
| D) The lip has frills at the bottom and an interesting pattern. It does look like an insect is already sitting on it. A design to attract insects to drop by and help pollinate. |
Hopefully more flowers next year! Thanks for reading my blog today.
