In the meanwhile, I took some pictures today, playing with ultra tiny blooms.
Remember the Oberonia toppingii? The whole clump of fans is smaller than the palm of my hand. The individual blooms are the size of small pinheads!!
Buds at the tail end of the dangling spikes, ready to pop
And here are some attempts to show details of open "blooms"
Another mini is this Maxillaria minuta with is yearly flush of tiny blooms which are less than a cm in size
And a third one is Ceratostylis philippinensis with its teensy numerous white blooms.
