Known as Guan Chun Lan in its native Taiwan, Tuberlabium kotoense is a fantastic miniature orchid with very fragrant flowers reminiscent of sweet star of anise. It can be grown in a coarse bark media but its highly recommended to mount on rough wood since its flower spikes develop at an almost horizontal angle.
