Thanks again, Mike! Finally see the inflorescence of a Malaxis sp.. I think I have a Malaxis in my vivarium and it threw out a long stem which I thought was a flower that was not developed... now I know it was meant to be carrying the inflorescence of the plant... But I think the flowers never appear... The long white stem is drying up...
