Default OMG!!! I missed two blooms!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is SO itsy-bitsy that although I look at him every day...it seems that I've missed two of the three blooms! I used a magnifier today and found what look like two old bloom heads and one with the bloom just starting to open...I think and thanks very much to the creators of digital cameras
I must have taken 40 pics to get just a few that I could actually sort of see

Don't feel bad - I did the same thing with one of my Pleuros the other day, P. astrophora. They're easy to miss! After finally noticing a whole spike with eight blooms on it, I saw four more popping out. Once they're all fully open I'll get a nice pic.

Aaaaw, poor plant. Can't blame her if she feels neglected now. Hope the fact that you made tons of pictures from her makes her feel special/better now

I brought my Lepanthopsis astrophora to our TOC meeting yesterday...along with a magnifying glass

People were amazed! I think most of the folks who attend the meetings think of orchids as the Catts and Phals. They didn't know what to make of the little guy

Oops, I meant L. astrophora, not P. astrophora. Thanks.

It is a cute little one. It looks like it would be a challenge to pollinate.

Well, that's NOT THAT small! You must be spending too much time out at the pool and have been blinded by the brightly reflected sun off the water!
