A few tiny pleuros
 
In addition to my windowsill/lights setup, I have a 20 gallon tank full of little Pleurothallids. Here are two of the smallest currently in bloom.

Stelis microchila, a relatively new acquisition. The inflorescence is about 4" long, but only about 1" near the tip carries blooms.

Charming little things!

They are really cool! It is just amazing how small some of these little orchids are!

Nice plants, good job.

Thanks! I had to clean the tank today, so I took a few more photos.

Leafmite, I have a thing for the tiny ones. The smaller the flower, the more I seem to want it!

An unidentified Pleurothallis (maybe rubella?)

Pleurothallis alata, always in bloom

I got this as Pleurothallis barbulata, turns out it is Specklinia acrisepala. Long, wiry spikes that bloom continuously

Nice stuff!! Congrats. I seem to also have a thing for tiny plants, and tiny frogs, and tiny bugs, and tiny fish, and tiny birds.
