Dendrobium christyanum is from Thailand, Vietnam and China and has huge flowers for the size of the plant. My plant is about 5 cm tall and the flowers are about the same size. It belongs to the group of Dendrobiums known as nigrohirsute Dendrobiums, referring to the black hairs with which the plant is covered and it is sometimes found under the older name, Dendrobium margaritaceum It blooms in the summer and is temperature tolerant. The flowers are fragrant.

This species is one of the smallest of the Paphiopedilums and a fairly recent discovery (1996). Paphiopedilum helenae is from Vietnam and the plant is only 12 cm across with 5 cm flowers (the inset has another photo that gives some scale). I've seen different examples of the species and there is considerable variation in flower color and shape, but I have not seen any that were not charming.

Cirrhopetalum or Bulbophyllum frostii is from Vietnam and belongs to a group of orchids that have some of the strangest flowers in the whole orchid family. Many of them have a nasty scent as well and are fly-pollinated. This species is supposed to be scented but I am unable to detect a scent when my plant is in bloom.

Paphiopedilum helenae is a miniature slipper orchid from Vietnam and a fairly recent discovery. The plant is only 4-5 inches across and the flowers 2 inches. It is quite variable in flower color and form but always charming. There are more pictures of the plant and flowers at the link below.

This is not my plant, though I wish it was, but was photographed at our recent show. Ordinarily this Vietnamese species is a pale pink, but this variety or form is much more colorful.
