Pleurothallis - this one is in question. Seller was not sure with the exact name, sold as grobyi but it does not look much like one, at least to me when comparing pics online. Very pretty, tiny blooms. Hope someone will help ID this miniature:-)

I don't know what it is. It looks like a Plths grobyi on passing, but I agree that it probably isn't.

I would try to get a hold of some orchid taxonomist and ask.

There are way too many Pleuros that are unidentified, and they're always popping up in people's collections.

What makes it difficult is that, (as far as I know), Plths grobyi can also be pretty variable in color pattern.

I do vote for maybe naming it Plths tommymiamiensis, or at least Plths grobyi var. tommymiamiensis if it is a new undescribed species. You discovered it, why not?.

:-) Thanks Philip, good one. And agreed, there is way too many Pleurothallis species, and there is many grobyi variants as I saw it, so who knows. This was import and seller was not sure what it is, well, let's say it this way, as far as it likes growing conditions, which it obviously does, since it was mounted on the driftwood not even 2 months ago and it is in spike already, I do not care so much:-) I love it!
