Lepanthes saltatrix in bloom
Got this little(and I mean little!) guy a few months back from Ecuagenera. I took a risk getting it since I was doubtful that I could keep it happy and it would end up just growing and never flowering, like some of my other orchids. But lo and behold in the beginning of Sept. I walked by and saw the tiniest flower I have ever seen. The flower is probably about an eighth of an inch wide. But it is beautiful. The flowers don't seem to last long, but I am noticing that when one flower dies another one will take its place within a day or so. So far a very rewarding plant to own. I wish I had a macro lens on the camera but this is the best photo I could take. Enjoy!

Wow, how intricate and tiny! Almost looks like it could be a dollhouse orchid  |

That's really pretty. Great job caring for it, I'd be so nervous as I've killed several mini orchids myself, so props & more props to you!  |
