- This week Plant Lovers, an orchid that is more of a curiosity than a passion - Gomesa radicans! It's described as a miniature orchid; and though that's true of the flowers, I don't think the plant is THAT small!! Gomesa radicans is an easy to grow orchid that I have outside under cover all year that is well able to take my cold winter temperatures - who knew this coastal Brazilian would love Melbourne! And it basically looks after itself! The flowers also have a beautiful light caramel fragrance that's quite delightful and the grassy foliage makes a great contrast to more the more strappy or succulent leaves that many orchids have.
I've made a video about my accidental collection of small to miniature orchids here: • Six miniature or small...
Matthew, check out the reference of "bird beak" which is noticeable when the flower is viewed from the side. Just bought myself a small, in flower pot of this. Lovely.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Matthew, it is very interesting to learn about different species orchids on your channel particularly those that are endangered in the wild. I loved the petite flowers on this orchid - very delicate and definitely not "moche".
Thanks for watching!
Very different! Thanks, Matthew.❤🪴🤗👍

So interesting! I wish I had more success with orchids. Maybe this is the one!
Super easy!
Absolutely adorable! 🥰 I might just need one in my collection.
Go for it!
Stopped counting! One I even placed in a big glas vase with pebbles around it to keep the air humid. It was love at first sight, at least for me... the grassy look, the delicate wanna-be bulbs, sigh! Along with Masd. ignea I call them my 'annuals'. Maybe I should also try terracotta pots? But therefore I have to visit a garden center and that always turns out very expensive 😁
