Picked this up for around $4 at a local garden centre yesterday. No idea what it is. The flowers are tiny, just over 1cm across, and it has a faint kind of chocolate / cimnamon aroma. Any ideas?

Probably Maxillariella mexicana (also known as Maxillaria mexicana), native in central to southwest mexico.

Yep, that looks like the one... And seeing as I live in the central west highlands of Mexico, that leaves me reasonably convinced Any ideas on care for this little guy? I'm assuming he's probably quite a hardy little fella...
