barbosella cogniauxiana
Another tiny and weird one that i love... this one belongs to a genus of mat forming pleurothallids that have a diverse range in central and south america. They've always been pretty easy to grow for me handling heat not too badly and blooming on and off throughout year. What i recently learned is they flower and grow much better when they get more light, maybe between phal and cattleya light... This species is from brazil, grown in one of my grow tanks with LED lighting.
Most have greenish bug like flowers, but found this great form with a slight purplish/pink flush.
Second picture is for size perspective.
