Sophronitis cernua

This tiny plant is in a 2" pot and I'm pretty sure its not just one plant. I took the pic some weeks ago and got about 4 or 5 consecutive flowers over the course of 4 or 5 weeks. Really cool little species, though not the best pic. Enjoy!

Amazing to get that many blooms in a 2 inch pot! The color looks very vibrant! It looks great! Sounds like a great space saver, too! Do you have to grow it cool or would intermediate temps be OK?

I grow it outside in Hawaii, so intermediate temps work great. This is the only Sophronitis species (that I'm aware of) that I can grow at sea level here.

That is very cool, I bet that thing lights up a room after the lights are turned off!!
