    Miniature epiphyte from Costa Rica with tiny (5 mm) flowers, so small you almost have to photograph it to really see how beautiful they are (just wish I had a proper macro)... A genus closely related to Pleurothallis, not sure what species. I have grown this on the windowsill in sphagnum moss, but it will soon move into my new cool viv.

    Strange, the title says Pleurothallis fulgens. I love Trichosalpinx just for the foliage.

    Thanks Harry. :) Sorry, I tried to change the name... but I do not know why it will not change the title... perhaps if a moderator sees this they can fix it? It should say Trichosalpinx sp.

    Yep, I think it takes a moderator.
