Tom. Nice flower, nice photo. Looks like a real close-up of a tiny plant.

Mauro, Eco Orquideas has it listed on their website. They also have Schoenorchis gemmata which I will recommend highly.

Dry is the operative word here. I got one last year at Al's Orchid Greenhouse. It grew great, was starting to produce a second growth, and flowered beautifully for me this summer. Then I did a really stupid thing and gave it a good soaking in MSU at 125 ppm while I was doing other things around the house. I remembered it the next morning (like 20 hours later) and promptly removed it from the MSU and hung it outside in a bright airy place out of the sun. Within hours 3/4 of the plant turned tan and went to mush. I lost the bottom 1/3 and the top half and it's down to 3 leaves in the middle of the stem. Damn! I didn't kill it, but I couldn't have come any closer.

Cheers.
