I think my Leptotes unicolor is my smallest, but keeps getting bigger. My other tiny one is my Harella retrocalla, nothing as tiny as some of these!

HOLY TINY! You guys have some extremely tiny plants, very cute.

The smallest I have is Tolumnia lucayana, yet to see it in bloom b/c last year when it spiked (after I got it) I forgot to water it and the spike died. Watered and spike branched then forgot again...sheesh but it grew a new growth so maybe this summer. Anywho it's not much bigger from leaf tip to leaf tip than a quarter; the newest growth isn't bigger than a dime.

Platystele Umbellata. What is your smallest orchid?-imageuploadedbytapatalk1430802240-523606-jpgWhat is your smallest orchid?-imageuploadedbytapatalk1430802282-841416-jpg

These pics might be tiny. The flowers are about the size of a pinhead, but it blooms in these clusters so they look like teeny raspberries. Love this little guy.

Those are some seriously small plants everyone. Wow. Nah, my smallest is maybe a Zootrophion that I have, but its a giant compared to all the ones on this thread.

gngrhill that's really nice! A new one for me. And jkofferdahl love the Zygostates alleniana, I have a few and I'm waiting for blooms.

I've added several tiny ones since I posted last. The Bulbophyllum moniliforme is one of them and when it blooms I'm not sure I'll see them! I have a magnifying glass that I use but those blooms are really small.

Pretty soon people will be wondering whether you're interacting with imaginary friends.
