Orchids - Robiquetia cerina

Saw this strange stalk of Orchids in the garden of the place I was staying, each flower is very small in size, less than 1 cm each, in a stalk closely packed together.

I think that this looks closest to Robiquetia cerina from the Philippines. The tiny flowers are borne tightly on a pendent rachis looking like a pine-cone. This is a warm-growing species inhabiting low elevation. The flowers are variable in colour and can also be yellow. Posted 4 years ago
