Lepanthopsis astrophora 'Stalky'
This is the second time this one has flowered for me....
The photo with the dime isn't very good... but it gives you some idea of the size of this one!

Shannan that is really a tiny baby…I’m so near sighted I would probably need a magnifying glass to see it...I just love those little mini's or is this an ultra mini?...  |

Very cute! Jo Ann, this would probably be considered a micromini.
What conditions does it need?

Thanks, guys! It really is the cutest little thing. The tallest leaf is a maximum of 2 inches.
I grow it in the tank with other cool growers. It gets watered every morning, and dries out by nightfall. Medium light levels. The humidity has dropped to 60% at time over the winter, however, most of the time it is over 75% and often above 80% or 90%. A window nearby is left open, so there is constant air movement in the (open topped) tank.

That is too gorgeous!! I want one now. Thanks for sharing. Flowers resemble Platystele stenostycha, except in color. Love it.

Hi Shannan 
I just came across this one on the I.N. Komada site and fell in love! I'm working on what will be going into the new tank and this one might get added to the list 
Orchidwiz doesn't have specific temp ranges for this one but they do have it marked as Intermediate/Hot. I see you grow yours cool...what approximate temperature do you provide? |

Hi Sue! Min temperatures are about 50F. Max daytime temps are about 75F.
If they are selling it (that's the place where you got the temp tolerant Masdies, right?) then I would take the chance, it is probably adjusted to warmer temps, and its an amazing little cutie pie!!

I'm definitely thinking about it! 
We know from experience that sometimes the info on IOSPE isn't always accurate but they call it a cool-hot grower! 
I might just have to take a chance |
