    Small and handsome Lepanthes sp. with "spikey, bristly"(thats what the species name means) leaves, and well shaped flowers. From Ecuador.

    Nice one. What are your growing conditions? Do you have a greenhouse?

    Ditto what Tom said. I'll add that your photography really shows it well.

    I grow under lights, next to windows in a "sun room", and outside in a screened "cage" in the summer. I have a decent collection of small to tiny plants.(Some large kept for sentimental reasonso_O ).

    Wow, I really like this one. The flower shape and colors, and the leaf patterns make a fantastic combination.
