Pholidota yunnanensis
12th July 2022
A species that grows in Vietnam and southern China at altitudes up to 2,600m.
Some of the mountain orchids of Yunnan should be hardy enough to grow without heat in my greenhouse. I have tried a few and some have succeeded.
This one came through the winter of 2022/23 without significant damage and went on to flower in July. It isn't spectacular, but I find it remarkable.
