Thanks you sir... This plant blooms for one day and gives one flower on one plant. That is one plant, one flower in one year. And I was lucky enough with my best friend Dr. Jyotsna Sharma from Texas Tech University to be there and see this plant in bloom.... Even the person who described this (Dr. Gunnar Seidenfaden, now dead) species never saw live plant but dry herbarium specimen. Its sometimes also referred to as ONE DAY FLOWERING ORCHID. Pankaj
