Jewel Box Orchid

 

 
Posted by Picasa


I have been growing this Jewel Box Orchid for close to 30 years. I am not saying I am an expect, but rather this orchid is very tolerant of benign neglect.This plant has bloomed in February for nearly every one of those 30 years. It has multiple blooms per bloom sheath and multiple bloom sheaths. It is a delightful small orchid flower and puts on its red show around Valentine's Day. Who could resist the sentiments in a small really red orchid?
