It was in bloom on a vendor's table. I bought it as it was cute as a bug. Of course, the vendor was "oh, this one is SO EASY"....I should know so much better, by now ..but, my purchase is proof that I am a sucker for a pretty plant. I can find some spotty info on Ionopsis utricularioides, which is the species that most resembles my plant in growth form and flower. Thanks for any info.
