And the Sigmatostalix picturissima is blooming again. Last time was late April so I am pleased. It is in a pot with coco fiber and gets watered daily.

How did I miss that? The little skirted Sigmatostalix is a cutie!

Here is a real tiny gem, the Penny serves as size comparison.

Those little ones make such a difference when they bloom. Of course you need a camera to see why you are soooo excited! Hilarious!

Phymatidium tillandsioides is soo tiny!! It looks like a miniature meadow with teensy sprays of cute little blooms.
I had divided the clump a few years ago and the smallest piece ( the one on the right) actually grew the best.

Nageliella purpurea is outside since May and just keeps producing tiny blooms on very long dangling spikes. The plant is a challenge to photograph, especially outside. I took it inside and tried not to breathe while shooting away. Smiling Especially the second picture gives you a good idea of its proportions.

Carol, I totally understand. I have been looking at this one for weeks now before taking it inside for a couple of shots. Very wiggly spikes!
