I got this at an Orchid Show in Oct 2014. It had been donated to the Society from a widow, as part of her deceased husband's massive collection. I am not particularly fond of micro-minis - mounted ones even less, but this caught my eye because the tag said Oct 17, 1994 ! How could anyone ( with a heart ) pass that up ?
It was in poor condition but now is perking up and has 2 buds about to bloom. From top to bottom this is about 1 1/2 inches. Buds are fairly large compared to the plant itself. Nice root system. Internet photos show that this can get fairly large and is floriferous, I'll keep working on that...
