I only grow miniatures right now. Here is a quick list of my modest collection:
Restrepia iris
Restrepia brachypus - a little on the big side for miniatures IMO
Dryadella clavellata - possibly qualifies as a mini-miniature, I'm not totally sure though.
Masdevallia nidifica - cute little masde. This is my first shot at the genus
Stelis mystax
Porroglossum hystrix
Platystele argentosa - great little orchid. Platystele does not get enough attention
Platystele johnsonii - Super tiny!!
Pleurothallis (sylphia) cactantha - TINY!! Definitely a mini-miniature.

Well found a few really micro mini's that I want to acquire but they seem to be nearly impossible to find. If anyone has any divisions of Bulbophyllum globuliforme, Bulbophyllum minutissimum, Bulbophyllum odoardii, or Platystele jungermannioides available let me know! <-- all four are contenders for the smallest orchid species

Well, I would have some bloom pics, but my stupid frog knocked the flower off before it opened. The same frog has done that three times now, he REALLY hates flowers apparently. I probably won't have a division of the argentosa for a little while, but you are first in line! |

What you need is Pothos. Lots and lots of Pothos...
The thing is, the frog (Ranitomeya vanzolinii) is TINY, but he targets my orchids. I watched him do it the first time and I'm sure he's doing it on purpose now. He jumps from the highest point of the tank, straight down onto the flower!

The pothos received the most abuse! lol she killed it after 6 weeks of constant uprooting and tearing off leaves. She was a rescue frog (horrible original owners) and she seems to like digging more than climbing, her bio-active substrate is now deeper so she can enjoy her time in the dirt
Sounds like your frog is jealous of the orchid, or thinks they are a delicious fruit fly hehehehehe Also woohoo love getting on the list for division from a wonderful species. |

whoop! got a hold of a small division of Platystele repens! It is said to be a fairly easy warm growing mini (and yes I will end up sharing if it grows like a weed lol)
