Orchids seen at the Conservatory in ABG during my visit in October, 2018.

Very tiny flowers.

I cant see the labellum properly, Do you have more closeups?

I think this is Sarcoglyphis comberi, please google this and let me know.

Thanks and regards

Pankaj

Yes Sarcoglyphis comberi. You can see the saw-tooth like margin on the upper part of red labellum.

Thanks and regards
