Default Is this a weed?

I have a Bulbophyllum Elisae mounted on cork. (Pic 1)

The other day I was repotting a plant I'd just bought and noticed something interesting.... (Pic 2) an absolutely tiny little plant sitting in the top of my pot of Cattlyea.... Could it be a baby little B. Elisae? Is it feasible that it seeded itself there while in the nursery? I've got it sitting in some moss for now....

I'm reminded of a friend who thought she rescued a drowning chihuahua one night after a night on the town... snuggled it all the way home and rested it in a box on the end of her bed... only to discover in the bright light of day... that it was a rat....

So perhaps my lucky find is it just a weed?
What do you think?

Could be but it looks to me like Bulbophyllum exiguum. I have it floating around on a few of my mounts, it's tiny but spreads quite well on a good mount.
