Default Mini’s-ultra or micro mini’s

I know this is a beginners question, but I really am curious if there is a true separate area for each of these and if so what that is.:blushing

I can't read the tags, but if these a miniatures this is as good a place as any.

I think they are Stanhopeas, one of the tags says "tigrina", can't read the other beyond the genus. If that's what they are, they're not mini-orchids, just very young seedlings.(The terms "mini" and "micro" refer to the size of blooming-size plants - their natural mature size) If I guessed right about the genus, they definitely need to be kept gently damp. When they get considerably bigger (they are some years from blooming) they will need to go into baskets, since Stanhopea flowers emerge from the bottom of the plant. But they need to do some considerable growing first.

The tags on the left look to me like "schoenorchis scolopendria" and "schoenorchis fragrans".

Now that I squint at them, I think you're right... your eyes are better than mine! THOSE are truly mini/micro species.
