This is Trisetella hoeijeri, a delightful little mini-miniature orchid. The leaves are about 1.5" tall, and the flower has a 3" spread. (This particular flower is facing the back of the terrarium, so I had to turn it for the pictures.) This is the second blooming for me since I got it a year ago.
The flowers are so cool looking, with their graceful sweep of whiskery sepals.
Even when it's not in bloom, it's a very tidy, pretty little plant. It seems very happy in its hole in the log.
Compare that picture above to the next one, and you can see how much the plant has grown since October. And look at the moss! I will need to trim it back soon, it has really taken off!
