Small flower of about 15mm, but just stunning (in my eyes anyway)!

I think that it's blooming period will be quite short lived Tastyg, but as long as I get a result year after year then I don't mind at all!

What an incredible orchid! I've seen thousands of orchids before, but not this one.

It's natural habitat is the rice fields of Japan Delonix.

Thanks for the info! : >)
I'll have to research to see if it grows in California's rice fields of the Sacramento Valley.
Here's a link to Sacramento's Rice Fields: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1216/is_n4_v193/ai_16166895/

Oh dear, I feel like I'm gloating now.
They need it warm and humid to perform at their best, not cool and wet like this summer was. Much as they're called hardy, it would be a good idea to lift them.
