Default Malaxis latifolia

Then the next one is this Malaxis latifolia, a warm growing terrestial.
I had a specimen plant with three really huge bulbs (40cm high, 6 cm
thick). That plant just has disappeared from the greenhouse. One day it
hust wasn't there anymore. I wonder what kind of pestilant animal that
might have been and how to repel them! Luckily I had a few small keiki
bulbs in a pot. The first one is giving flowers this year.
Very small flowers, but an adult plant can carry more then thousend
flowers on one spike!
