Where do you buy Platystele jungermannioides?
 
Hi, where can i buy a Platystele jungermannioides?
It needs to be in a shop who ships to Denmark...

I'm searching for Platystele umbellata too:)

Try attending an orchid show somewhere in Europe.
Ecuagenera goes all over the world, and I have heard them mention attending shows in Europe.

Platystele jungermannioides is extremely hard orchid to find, it runs among few lucky micro / miniature orchid growers that I know. No page has this one for sale, and most likely never will have. There was tiny division some month ago on ebay, smaller than US quarter, that sold for $130!!! I would love to wish you best of luck, but it took me over a year to even locate one piece in Panama, and when it was suppose to be shipped to me, the seller wrote me there was some nesting bird that took the whole mount with this rare plant! SO I am still searching and hoping to get some in my lifetime.
I am attaching the link for that auction, just to give you an idea, what you should be expecting if you ever find one for sale:

Pretty sure it's not the smallest orchid, but w/e.

It sounds like a hard one to get!
But i'll just search, then:)

I can't go to the shows...

It's not a smallest orchid, it is the orchid with the smallest blooms! Well, it was till 2009 when they found in Ecuador even smaller blooms anyways. It is still bigger than my Pleurothallis dressleri, but very tiny for sure!

Tostra, you shouldn't have problems with Platystele umbellata, that one is for sale in Europe for sure (I have many friends orchid growers in Czech Republic, and they do shop in EU all the time, everyone has this one). May I ask why did you choose jungermannioides? I do love micro orchids and miniature orchids so this was added to my list long time ago, like dressleri, but it is not for sure the common miniature orchid.

Well, because of the size :-)
I'm finding small orchids for my vivarium build. It'll be 25 cm deep, 30 wide and 50 high, so i don't have a lot of space.
And then because it is a perfect vivarium plant.
But the main reason is probably that it is so special :)
