Pleurothallis cardiothallis
A strange little plant that I looked at several times before I decided to buy it! Last year it put out only one flower. This year it made up for lost time by putting out 10 flowers at once!

Well, it wasn't in bloom when I first saw it! But, for some reason I kept going back to it time and again, until Duncan finally said you better just buy it so you don't have to keep coming back to visit, so I did and I'm so glad that it called to me!
I really like unusual flowers and this one makes me smile everytime I see it!

Maybe it's because the leaves are heart shaped ?!
Hence the name...cardiothallis!
