Flower size: Flowers are small. They are about 3-4mm laterally on a small, pinecone shaped spike. I would estimate there are approximately 25-30 flowers per spike.

Plant size: Small bifoliate clumper. 1.5cm pseudobulbs are spherical until later in the growing season when they shrivel. Narrow leaves are approx 8cm long until they drop in the late summer/early fall.

Other firsthand observations: Plant likes to dry out between waterings. It would probably prefer a drier winter than the summer, but my conditions do not permit this.
