Default Tiny wild orchid - type unknown







These little gems grow wild here - this plant is on a big fishtail palm in the garden. Does anybody have any idea what it might be? Local lore says it is the smallest in the world, but nobody really knows or can give it a name. It sets seed from time to time too.

Nice!
I would send Jordon (jnstropic) a PM with a link to this thread and see what he says. I think he's the resident orchid expert, if I missed anybody, sorry!

I know that it is a Tolumnia and there is hand full of different ones. It looks like a Tolumnia bahamensis to me. Google 'Tolumnia' and you might decide the specie.

Thanks Jordan

looks like it is either tolumnia bahamensis or variegata - thanks for the help.
