Cleisostoma micrantha - a real weenie !
Flowers maybe 4mm natural spread. I can't claim I grow it for the splash of colour it gives , but it is a curiosity which kids love to see when they come with parents !. Plant now growing rather better than before in the maybe 5 years I have had it - it always flowers btw, but now the plant looks bigger, so maybe it will do somehting nice for me - produce side growths, or extra spikes or something.
I don't remember anything about its place in the great scheme of things - presumably its vandaceous (?). Whatever , at least you can enjoy it without risking poking your eyes with the leaves, you have to get that near to see it in reality instead of on the screen.!
