Ooh, that is lovely Ruud. What an elegant flower.

So the little hairy ball in your picture with the pen is the pseudobulb? They go dormant every winter, dry right out and then you re-awaken them in springtime to grow leaves and those very tall stems? Neat!

Please would you add to your personal profile where in the world you are? I gather you are in the southern hemisphere?
