Orchid of the day: Schoenorchis fragrans


Schoenorchis fragrans


Schoenorchis fragrans, also called The Fragrant Schoenorchis, is distributed in subtropical areas such as northeastern India, and southeast Asia such as Thailand, is the smallest vandaceous orchid. It grows in semi-evergreen forests at an altitude of 600-1200 meters. I've shared our Schoenorchis fragrans afew times before as far back as July 2015. Then it was quite small, about the size of a quarter and had about fifteen flowers. Today we believe we have around one hundred flowers! 


(A) The flowers have arranged themselves to give the appearance of a heart.

(C) Arne attached this orchid to a much large cork so it could grow and spread happily. Clearly doing well by blessing us with many flowers this year.

(D) Anthony with our Schoenorchis fragrans in 2015. The orchid was just as big as his nose then.


(E) A brief moment in our garden, next to our Spanish moss.


(F) A final look of our miniature vandaceous orchid. Until next year.


Another post coming soon. I hope you enjoyed our tiny Schoenorchis fragrans.
