Schoenorchis fragrans


OK, I agree you have to be a bit fanatical to be going stupid over something at this size.  This is Schoenorchis fragrans, and no it is not a little seedling, this is a fully mature plant and you can see an equally tiny spike of flowers developing.  Its mounted on a sliver of teak wood because they are well known for dropping dead if the roots are left wet for any time and hate being moved.  By the length of old trunk on the plant, I would guess this one is about 10-15 years old.  You can call me stupid, but I call this fantastic!
