Miniatures mounted on drift wood

What is the "tail" hanging down from near the top of the branch, it is about 1/3 of the way over from the left hand side of the tank ... the right most flower of the Lepanthopsis astrophora looks like it is just barely touching it?

Hey Paul. Sorry for not getting back to you on this one. That tail is Ceratostema rauhii. It bloomed for the first time about 2 months ago. Below is a link to a pic of that event.

As an update, all the flowers in the original pic are in flower again, except the Restrepia, which just finished flowering, and the Dend. cuthbertsonii which died. Where the Dend was, is now just a big mound of moss.

Ceratostema rahuii

Do you know of any source for Ceratostema rauhii? Apparently Black Jungle had it years ago, but it looks like they don't anymore. My conditions are on the cool side with good airflow, and I think it would do well.
