Lepanthopsis astrophora - great mini for any beginner!
In August, I was introduced to the world of mini orchids, and one very sweet member told me about this mini, it became my very first miniature orchid, and since August I got quite a few of them. I would recommend this one to any orchid beginner who wants to try mini orchids. It is extremely easy to care, to the point I must admit that I do keep watering it, fertilizing only when I remember, and that is it! I have them in different set ups, one in wood glass terrarium, one on the drift wood in the vase, one in glass orb, one outside - all spiking. I do not want to brag, but when watering this one today, I counted all the new spikes, and there is actually 12!!! I consider this pretty awesome!

I just got one of these guys and I am thrilled. It's a keeper, but can be difficult to fine. i found mine at Seattle Orchids. I understand J&L sometimes has them too.

I'll need a better camera in order to share pics - Mine came in bloom, but of course the blooms are tiny. Anyway, Santa is promising a new camera for Christmas  |

@TommyMiami they are so tiny and cute, up close and blown up the look all sparkly! Like they were dunked in glitter.

OK, you convinced me. I'll get one. Would rather trade for one though.
