Anyway, isn't it pretty!
Each bloom on this diminutive little orchid is 3/8" tall, and each leaf is about 1/2" long.
They are so delicate and dainty. And hard to photograph!
I just love the way this terrarium is developing.

Pleurothallis grobyi blooming
Finally, one of the little Pleurothallis grobyi is blooming in the 12x12x18 terrarium, the one I got in April from Ecuagenera when I went to the orchid show in Portland. This is actually its third bloom spike, but unfortunately, the first two were munched by snails. I had not been aware that I had snails in this terrarium, but have since gone on a snail hunting expedition. I harbor no illusions that I got them all, but will continue to be vigilant and will get as drastic as needed.

fantastic! great job growing orchids on the dry side of the state! I have several but not in a terrarium, and sadly, I lose a few every hot summer... anyway, looks great, that's an achievement :)
A pretty species and beautifully photographed, Sue. I should get one again.
