Barbosella geminata
Its been a few years since I purchased this species. When I got it it flowered for me right away. Since that time it has grown, and grown, a grown some more. I made a cutting and it grew and grew. This is a picture of that cutting inside my Exoterra terrarium. Its cloud forest setup with lots of mist from time to time. The first pic is the one I like the best, but the following pics show the mist and the setup.

The flower is pretty but I must admit, it is the set up that has me in awe! It is absolutely fabulous!

Thanks!!

I love this tank. There is always something in flower. They really do love the daily fog.

Have you posted anything about how you set it up, what equipment it uses, a plant list, etc. etc? Inquiring minds want to know.

Here it was at first maturity - a plant list is included though, not updated its still good for most of the plants.
