I meant to post this a while ago. This is Haraella retrocallus. The buds were on it when I received it, so I make no claim to flowering it. In fact, I mounted it on the slab of cork Upside Down😆. This is a beautiful miniature orchid and has a sweet lemony scent. I hope it forgives my embarrassing ‘faux pas.’ (Photo 3) It kinda looks like a “maroon beetle” moving into the blossom.

That’s an extraordinary lip. Really cool. (Even upside down. 😂)

I love this orchid! Mine is almost always in bloom! It’s so easy going! Loves good light and 80%+ humidity and so long as the light is good it wants a lot of water. Such a cool  
Flower too!

First stop is my Milsbo Tall. High humidity and a good temp. It’s home to most of my orchids. Thanks for the input. It is a cheerful sweet scented blossom that’s for sure. 😀

That’s so funny because mine is mounted on wood in my Milsbo Wide  
😂 It’s going to love it there!

What a pretty flower! It looks so cool on the cork!

Thanks. I like it too. I’m also trying out some tiny hanging pots.
