First Bloom: Cirrhopetalum pulchellum

In Photos on 19 August 2012 tagged Bloom, Cirrhopetalum, Flowers, Orchids

I picked up this Cirrhopetalum pulchellum back in January from Norman’s. This is its first bloom. The flowers are much smaller than they look – the whole spread is about an inch across.
