Lepanthes telipogoniflora

[Duane McDowell]

This one's tiny all right! Very easy to grow and bloom in a terrarium. I water it once a day. The blooms are larger than the leaves. It's already in bud again on another inflorescence.
I got this one from Orquideas del Valle (Orquivalle.com).

I want one of these so bad...its on mywishlist!love yours!

[Duane McDowell]

I'd have to say that today it's my favorite orchid. Huge blooms for the size of the plant, grows pretty fast, and seems like it will bloom frequently. Petite Plaisance has them here in the US. Otherwise, I know that Colombian Orchid Imports has a shipment coming up soon and that Ecuagenera and Orquideas del Valle both ship pretty often.

is that just moss, or some type of mount?

[Duane McDowell]

It's a chunk of tree fern. Hard to describe, but the top of the chunk of tree fern has been hollowed out a little and a pad of sphagnum with the Lepanthes is tucked into that hollowed out part.
What I've been doing is taking pieces of tree fern and using a 1/2" drill to hollow out the tops of them. Then I pack a little sphagnum around the roots of the plant and tuck the whole thing into the hollowed out part. Seems to work pretty well overall for the teeny-tinys.

so it's basically a little tree fern pot

Cool, I love these!

[Duane McDowell]

Yep. Basically a little tree fern pot. I like having them upright. I stick a stiff wire into the bottom of the pot to hold it above the moss in my terrarium. There's styrofoam under the moss to hold all the wires.

Wow what a big surprise in such a tiny orchid. Good job getting that closeup as well. Do you grow it indoors? I think I would lose it in my yard. Never mind I see you have it in a tank.
