In Bloom: Summer Miniature
Dyakia hendersoniana, formerly known as Ascocentrum hendersonianum, is a very adorable miniature species. These bloom on an inflorescence up to 6 inches high covered with wee, purple-pink flowers with a white lip in late Spring or early Summer. They can be grown along side Phalaenopsis, pretty much the same conditions but with maybe a little bit more light. I am keeping mine in slightly stronger light than the phals right now, but they spend the Winter in a slighty shadier spot. Great plant for those of you looking to branch out, and great plant for the miniature collectors out there too! Now available in the shop! :)
