    Question Can someone identify this Dwarf Wild Orchid?

    This is a dwarf wild orchid that grows in the limestone soil of jungles in tropical Southern Thailand. The flower is absolutely TINY in comparison to the bulb as it measures less than 1/2 inch in diameter. I am attaching photos of the whole plant and blooms. Know it??? Thanks for any info. !

    Cheers, Michael

    I agree with Ron and I think it is Eulophia graminea which is quite common in the limestone foothills around my area; usually found growing together with Paph niveum and Calanthe reubens.
