Thecopus maingayi

Named after an English surgeon and orchid enthusiast, this species was originally described by Hooker in 1890.

This delightful miniature is native to peninsular Malaysia, Borneo and Thailand. This plant prefers intermediate to warm temperatures and typically flowers in the fall months, The interesting flowers are about a half to 3/4" in size and flower on a spike of 5-6" in length with up to 10 flowers that last well. We think these are quite interesting in plant habit and flower form.
