Tiny little thing, as you can see from the pic with my thumb in the back. Almost impossible to photograph properly, at least with my little point-and-shoot digital and its pathetic macro setting. I really need a decent digital camera.

Seven spikes, individual blooms are about the size of a pinhead. This one is growing on a 2" piece of wood. Conditions are intermediate, in the stream of a humidifier, hanging a foot below T5 lights. Thanks for looking!

Given the tiny size of those flowers, I'd say the photos are excellent!

I actually got mine from an eBay seller. You might try calling Andy's Orchids; even if they don't have it listed on their site, they may have one. Good luck!
