Default Capanemia superflua

It's very difficult to pic this mini-oncidinae with an amateur camera! The indvidual flower has less than 0.5cm across (the spike is 5cm long). I put my left thumb in the pics for comparison (I am NOT crushing the 'chid!)

I love the Capanemia genera, too bad they are so hard to find for sell in North America or Europe !!!

very nice. my capanemia micromera is in spike now, but I think the flowers will be too small to photograph.
