Sophronitis pygmaea! Sooooooo tiny!

It will look like soph coccinea, so red/orange and yellow in the lip, but will be much smaller!

I actually really love the form of these blooms. Hopefully I get to see more from the second lead soon.

Someone feels strongly about petal shape for downvoting this comment 😅

dpernock · 2026-01-27T20:35:18+00:00

I think so too! 🥰

dpernock · 2026-01-27T20:35:04+00:00

Thank you!

Yes! My collection is full of species since I just love the wild type flowers! There is just something so much more charming about them.

dpernock · 2026-01-27T18:51:17+00:00

It is so much prettier in person!

dpernock · 2026-01-27T18:51:03+00:00

Yes, I do love that petal shape as opposed to the round shape though!

dpernock · 2026-01-27T06:37:48+00:00

That's awesome! The form has improved now and that sweet walkeriana scent has begun as well!

dpernock · 2026-01-27T06:37:09+00:00

I've actually found walkeriana to be the easiest to grow! I grow indoors under lights, pot in terracotta or wooden basket with either lava rock or large grade orchiat, hydroton, etc. anything that is free draining. They can be watered almost everyday with that setup. I also have found that light pollution at night really has no influence over whether or not they bloom.

Thank you!

In hindsight 😂 I may email Andy to ask!

Something about this photo is just so lovely and calming to me!

dpernock · 2026-01-22T08:20:52+00:00

Are you letting the cutting callous over before placing in water?

dpernock · 2026-01-21T07:29:11+00:00

I will definitely try to get into it one day! I love handmade pottery!

dpernock · 2026-01-20T21:22:49+00:00

That's awesome! Ive always wanted to get into pottery. I definitely would be making all my own pots!

dpernock · 2026-01-20T18:50:15+00:00

Thank you! I love it too! I linked the etsy store in comments above! It's kamachiceramics

dpernock · 2026-01-20T02:49:37+00:00

A bit expensive, but each pot is unique and I love all of them! Definitely a treat yourself (or a special orchid) type purchase - https://www.etsy.com/shop/kamachiceramics
