	Comparison of Ascocentrum miniatum and Ascocentrum garayi	Orchidcorner
	Asctm garayi on the left and miniatum to the right:
	Asctm garayi- The lip is straight forwards!
	and garayi leaf -
	Asctm miniatum - purchased from Oakhill Garden in July 2008:
	And the close up of miniatum: The lip is slightly recurved, sepals and petals are slightly more narrow. Under identical light conditions, the miniatum flowers are a bit more orange than garayi. There is a faint veining of the flowers visible as described at Orchidspecies.com, better visible so with the help of a magnifying lens.
	and the miniatum leaf -
	Ascocentrum curviflorum - Three spikes this year
	Chiloschista lunifera, I bought it at the 2008 SEPOS. This is a first flowering for me.
