    The label on this one says Pleurothallis penelops. Though it does not look like the pictures I have seen of that species. Any ideas?

    The imaged flower is ~1.5 inches tall, and the leaf is ~5.5 inches tall

    OK, Tom beat me to it. I would have told you that it was Pleurothallis perijaensis, but he already did that. Did you get it at Petite Plaisance? They had several labeled P. penelops that have turned out to be P. perijaensis.

    Thanks Folks.

    Marni, I got mine from a fellow hobbyist, but it is possible it originated from Petite.

    Forrest, do you grow it cool? Based on the photo and the leaf size that you mentioned, the plant is about 12" tall, right? It is one of the plants that I am going to order this Spring, so I will love to know a bit more about it.

    I do grow it cool Tom, and shady. I have only had this plant for about 3 months though, so I am afraid I cant comment significantly on its culture needs.

    The plant is about 12 inches tall total.
