Very nice blooming, this is one I instantly fell in love with.

Mine is getting watered every day though! Do you let it dry out inbetween watering?

Yeri, yes, slightly, the moss keeps the moisture, so I do water whenever it dries out little, but not completely dry:-)

Thank you Bud, it is tiny and cute, but still bigger than the spike from Lepanthopsis astrophora:-) It is true that the mini's always look great on the pics though, where you can see more details than with your own naked eye as you said:-)

Mine has 3 spikes, two of which already blasted once. More buds formed and am impatiently waiting for the blooms.

I, too, have to water everyday. Letting it dry caused the bud blast.

I hope all of them will open! I can't wait to see the pics:-)

I think I may have to stop checking out your posts.
Everytime I do another one goes on my list.
Beautiful!

Ordphien, I'm sorry, but trust me, this is what happens to me all the time, since I joined OB my list grew to hundreds!!!:-))))) I'm glad you like my choices though:-)

I've had mine about 4 years. The coloring on mine is more a purplish pink. Maybe being up north it only blooms for me once a year in late summer but ill take it. And you described it exactly right; like little fireworks.
