Default Pleurothallis hypnicola *MINI*

I've had my Pleurothallis hypnicola for over a year now and it has been in bloom from the moment I got it .. I don't know if it ever stops blooming

Admittedly the blooms are small.. ok tiny





The big scary pinky white things are my thumb and finger holding the stem of the flower

You can see big pics in my Photobucket album:

Thanks Tindo,
it was briefly outside for a time and in my hobby greenhouse for a short while but it's mostly been grown in one or another fishtank.

I had it potted for quite a long time but mounted it a few months ago, as I find it is easier to take of them mounted in terms of not overwatering, and at some point I might stick in my viv that is still in it's planning stage

It's currently in my Jebo, which I have a photo of floating around on a thread here somewhere which is generally about 70ish% RH and 20-28 degrees celcius depending on outside weather as it's in a hallway that's neither heated or cooled in winter/summer.

It's only under 2 x 18 watt fluroescent tubes...

It's a sequential bloomer and the spike grows forward to a new flower from the old so you end up getting a long bare spike which is zigzagged with a bloom right at the very end- see pic.

Ok so I thought I'd take a quick photo of the overall plant, which I did. You can't even really see the flowers very well in those photos- too tiny

But I also took a shot of a bloom and it turned out to show way more detail than any other photo I've ever taken of it! Thanks Tindo for motivating me

I have a digital camera: Canon PowerShot A80 4.0megapixels, with a macrofunction setting.

Also I took the picture where there was quite a bit of sunlight which always seems to help in taking such photos as opposed to trying to take them under normal household lighting.

Thanks. I'm saving the model of your camera for future reference. I always have troubles with small flower photographing, even if the flower is quite 'large' (3-4 cm)...
