    Didn't make any plant photos today. It's MP-E Day. Plant looks like a miniature Phaius mishmensis. Flowers are 15mm tall. Plant's 8" tall with 4-6 plicate leaves. Leaf bases sheath the pseudobulb which is about 4" long and the diameter of a wood pencil. Leaves drop in the fall.

    Yes, thanks for that info. My plant is significantly smaller than that.

    We think alike, Jon - this is the product of a Japanese cartoonist who took up genetic engineering of orchids as a hobby.
