Micro-mini Masdevallia

[ronaldhanko]

This Masdevallia also goes under the name Diodonopsis anachaeta. The whole plant is around an inch (2.5cm) in size.



There's a picture of an individual flower here:

They look very happy and healthy....the flowers have that certain appeal even if its tiny.
I have a couple of Dendrobiums that is less than an inch and it is barely hanging in there....I must transform my fishtank into a terrarium so I can really maintain constant humidity and temperature for my minis

Thanks, Bud. Glad you like the little tiny stuff, too.

I inherited it....I just have to raise them since they happen to rely on my care.... those tiny little plants are easy to love

[ronaldhanko]

They certainly are. I've always been fascinated with miniatures.

I had it in a show recently and it got a lot of attention and even was pulled for AOS judging though it wasn't awarded.
