wow, so tiny! Very cute, and so well-grown! Congrats.
I am definitely not a mini expert, but the pleurothallis pictas I've seen seemed to have stems that reached way beyond the leaves - of course, it's all relative when you're talking about blooms you can only see through magnifying glasses - I think you'll need a macro lens if you want any closeups, Connie. Check out Branka's photos - they're pretty awesome and she really knows how to take a macro shot. Looks really healthy and lush, though - good growing! Have I mentioned I'm ready to move further south? Florida or Barbados - can't decide. It's really gloomy and chilly here and my plants are not happy about being stuck indoors - they remind me of small children.![]()
It is not picta. Cute little species though.
Did I see a fully open flower? It will help if you can get a photo of it.
Connie, Tom is right: it is not Pleurothallis picta, however it is very beautiful: P.picta has inflorescences that are much much longer than the leaves. And it has several flowers on the flower steam that are more brownish. Can't help with ID.
I'm not familiarize with this genera thanks Tom , very well grown plant and so healthy.
I will try and get a better pic tomorrow...I didn't think it was picta. Now to find out exactly what it is. lol
They're delightful - and lookk a lot like my Pleurothallis minutalis.
It's really a beautiful plant!
