Very poor growing technique, just a bloom. @@
But this is a very easy grower in the warm place, just I forgot it for a long time. Hopefully I will be able to get more blooms in next season.

Arundina graminifolia

This is also called the "Bamboo Orchid", the Arudina graminufolia is widely distributed in South East Asia and outside Asia. The plant and the flower from different regions varies. This is a ground orchid, a very good bloomer in outdoor under full sunlight.

These Arudinas are in cultivation, they looks better in color and the flower appearance. Usually you can find them in the tropical gardens.






These are wild forms that I saw at Mesilau, Mount Kinabalu. I also found a peloric form at the road side. The plant size is much smaller than the red one and it's green.



The peloric form, interesting ...
