Constantia microscopica blooming!!!
Constantia microscopica - this is very special post for me, especially after my old post on this beauty when I found and purchased one (that was one of the posts that got me off this board for a while!) Finally, one of the rare orchids is blooming (SO YES, I DID NOT KILL IT, BUT MAKE IT ACTUALLY THRIVE AND BLOOM!). This mini miniature comes from Minas Gerais Brazil, and is considered as one of the smallest orchids, it is smallest in the genus and even the smallest within the Laeliinae! Very hard to find plant. I am truly proud and happy to own and bloom one! Grown outside year round in Florida, bright shade, misted nearly every day, good quality water, weak fertilizing.
