    This wonderful mini (syn.Zelenkoa onusta) has the purest yellow flowers I've seen. It loves being mounted and the plant's growths barely reach 7" (17.8cm) tall. This year two sprays, one branching, will create a bright cheerful display of dancing yellow 1" (2.5cm) wide flowers so welcome in the drabness of our fall here. I'll try for a shot later on when all the flowers are open, but have learned not to wait as I'm just as likely to knock some off by then :) The inflorescences are longlasting, and the plant grows in high light in intermediate temps, watered or misted daily.
