late 2009 a new orchid was found in Ecuador, and it turned out to be the smallest orchid ever found!!

I particularly enjoy that the article compares that region with Darwin's Finches- which are equally fascinating. Too bad they don't go into more detail of how/why they think they evolved the way they did!

If you mean what would be the largest orchid it's Grammatophyllum speciosum IOSPE PHOTOS. This is based on weight and size.
