Homalopetalum pumilio
Plant size only about 1/2" (bulb and leaf) with a 2 inch plus flower!

Awesome orchid species!  
Are the petals as translucent as they show up on the photo? 
They look tissue-paper thin. |

I don't remember but think that it came from J&L in Connecticut.

The petals are indeed translucent, but not as fragile as they appear.
