A few tiny pleuros
In addition to my windowsill/lights setup, I have a 20 gallon tank full of little Pleurothallids. Here are two of the smallest currently in bloom.
Stelis microchila, a relatively new acquisition. The inflorescence is about 4" long, but only about 1" near the tip carries blooms.
Salpistele brunnea

Thanks! I had to clean the tank today, so I took a few more photos.
Leafmite, I have a thing for the tiny ones. The smaller the flower, the more I seem to want it!
Masdevallia erinacea
An unidentified Pleurothallis (maybe rubella?)
Pleurothallis alata, always in bloom
I got this as Pleurothallis barbulata, turns out it is Specklinia acrisepala. Long, wiry spikes that bloom continuously

Nice stuff!! Congrats. I seem to also have a thing for tiny plants, and tiny frogs, and tiny bugs, and tiny fish, and tiny birds.
