    Lovely! Thank you for posting.

    Just thought I'd add that I'm glad to see that you have it's name correct. Not to be confused with Asctm miniatum.

    Thanks everyone!
    Hi Bruce, you see I am not an expert in photography, thanks for your encouraging!
    Hi Gage, in fact I know little about Asctm miniatum. This plant is from Vienam. I am glad to know something about their difference. Thanks!

    This confusion used to drive me nuts. The easiest dinstinguishing feature to note is that garayi has the shorter, straight(er), stocky leaves. A. miniatum has leaves more similar to curvifolium, thinner and folded, decurved. The lip of miniatum is also decurved, while garayi is somewhat straighter, or even recurved. But the leaves are tell tale.
