    Ok, ok, guys!

    I didn't realize how diminutive this lil' guy was when I bought him. The flower opened and I had to laugh! I love the coloration and form - hey, it's a species. You don't get to change them. You have to love them as whatever they are! (...we could learn a lot from species...)

    I saw the finger thing on another forum and thought that was a heck of a lot easier that suspending a quarter in mid-air as a size reference. Please keep in mind, I don't have sausage fingers! This one's itty bitty.

    Oh my...
    He looks just like one of those poisonous dart toads! Julie, are you sure that you don't get any of those deadly/paralyzing substances sticking on your fingers?
    Just kidding! I think he is a cutie and a keeper!
    Cheers. Hoa.

    LOL! He does look like a poison dart toad, Hoa! Except the toad would be bigger. Maybe a baby poison dart toad.
