Ornithocephalus manabina orchid in bloom

35_Ornithocephalus_manabina_blom_2009-01-14My lovely little mini, Ornithocephalus manabina is blooming. It has actually been blooming for quite som time but the darn little thing is near impossible to photograph!! Of course it doesn’t help much that it is living in a half-meter wide tube (the nano)…

I fell in love with this specie at the Gothenburg international Orchid Show in October, but the grower was all out of them there. I Managed to order this one from Orchids & More a few weeks later. They shipped it in bud and thankfully it wasn’t harmed by the cold in shipping and has been blooming now for over a month. See a larger picture on flickr.
