Lepanthopsis astrophora
Lepanthopsis astrophora - this was my very first miniature orchid and I will always love it, very special relationship! Easy to grow, shade, keeping it moist all the time, weak fertilizing, intermediate temperatures.

Lovely color and form. The shimmering petals will be more emphasized if you photographed it under the sun....

The little plant is very full and has maybe a dozen old spikes that I have left. These spikes appear to be new ones. It should be covered in blooms and I am thrilled.

Mine too. I also have this one and love the little thing. Got it last summer. It's bloomed twice for me since, the blooms last a long time and they're so darned cute!

Ah yes, I always love seeing this one. It looks so wispy, is that a word?  |
