Default Lepanthopsis astrophora ‘Stalky’
I picked this up from Parkside in January of this year. It is past its peak as it originally had about a dozen spikes but only a few are left with flowers. I grow this intermediate to cool under lights and is kept moist all the time.

Wow Tom...I love it!

It looks as though the bloom edges are dusted with frost. Very interesting...

By the way, how tiny is "VERY tiny"?

maybe 1mm...2mm at the most

Let's just say that if you put a single pea next to it for scale the pea would look like a giant green boulder next to the flower

Holy guacamole!

I'd say that VERY tiny is an understatement.
