Capanemia micromera

One of the fun things about being restricted to growing under lights: space restrictions provide a great excuse to investigate all the cool minis out there. This one is a truly tiny plant; the stick on which it is mounted is barely 1" x 3". Flowers are minute but pretty. I'm growing this one with the Oncidiums; it likes a bit less light, and a bit more water.

Thanks for looking!

Wow, Stephen, that is a very cute and well-grown plant! It is allegedly scented - can you tell without snorting up the entire plant?
Cheers - Nancy

No smell that I can detect!

Wow, do you use a magnifying glass to enjoy the blooms or what? What a jewel.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful photo of this mini.

The plant is so small in real life I have trouble telling whether it is putting out new growth let alone buds even with a magnifying glass.

Mine is blooming now also. How do you grow it and how long have you had it. Mine is in a greenhouse with 55F minimum in the winter and bright shade. It's aboy 70-80% humidity.
