Orchid of the day: Phalaenopsis parishii

Phalaenopsis parishii



This miniature orchid, native to eastern Himalayas, Assam India, Burma, Thailand and Vietnam, thrive in hot to warm climates. The flowers are densely scatter on the stems and have a mild scent. This orchid came to us in 2012 and I posted it for the first time, June 13th, 2015.


Like most of our orchids, our Phalaenopsis parishii seems to bloom around the same time each year, late May to early June. This time, we have twenty one flowers blooming.

I must say that this miniature orchid is very breathtaking to look at. The flowers are about 2 cm in height yet the colours are so vivid and each bloom is so beautifully shaped.

I hope you all enjoyed my post for today.
These tiny beauties never fail to amaze me each time.

Until next time, have a great week.
