I couldn't believe it when my helmet orchid (Corybas crenulatus) is flowering in my garden few weeks ago!!! Helmet orchid is one of the smallest orchids in the world. Sept-Oct. is the flowering season for native orchid of Borneo.

Going to bloom:

Wah, beautiful. It seemed that these orchids can be kept together with emersed cryptocorynes set up too?!?! How many genus and species fall under such category of orchid if I want to start collecting too and any good website to recommend for this? Hahaha.
