Dryadella hirtzii flower has opened!
After waiting 10 days for the bud to open on this one, its finally started to open this morning!
And, yes... there's more buds forming, so more flowers still to come!

Also, just to give you some idea of how tiny this baby is...
here's a shot with a 50 pence piece in the background. The leaves are under 10cm, and the flower is only just over 1cm at its widest part.

Actually, looking through the photos at IOSPE, this looks more like the photo that they have for Dryadella dodsonii.
Opinions??
Though the size matches hirtzii (1cm).

Yes, I love the dryadellas too! Going to have to add a few more to the collection! Good thing they don't take up much space. 
Thanks everyone! And, yes, Todd, I'm about to get out my magnifying glass so that I can look at the details!  Good idea! |

Very nice! I am pretty sure that you actually have Dryadella simula...
I believe that Dry. dodsonii is red veined with slightly textured leaves like a Porroglossum. Dry. hirtzii is very similar to Dry. zebrina.
