Until yesterday, I had not really noticed that one of my plants was beginning to flower and thus, I was quite pleased to notice three flowering stalks of this cirrhopetalum orchid. (Even after all these years, I haven't been able to track down the full name of this orchid specie. Can anyone help?)
They look like three complete flowers by themselves but actually, each comprises about nine to 10 individual flowers, all arranged in a semi-circular formation.
Unfortunately, the flowers do not last very long. At the most, they'll be around for about a week before they wither and drop off.
