Zygostates alleniana
 
Z. alleniana--I got this little guy almost a year ago. It is a first time bloomer for me. The flower is about 0.3" and they should be long lasting.

It is not very difficult but I won't say easy either. You need to be careful with the moisture and light level for this little species. It is an intermediate grower.

That's a cutie! I really like it! :)

Another great one Tom. This one kind of reminds of Podangis dactyloceras (I think I spelled that wrong) with its crysaline, almost clear flowers.

Nice!

Please, I beg you, tell me where you got it! I had one years ago, and have been searching for this plant for months!

Mine came from a private collector. I think he imported this species from a Brazilian grower.

Looks like you did a fantastic job growing it and the results show. The flowers are beautiful.
