Would you agree this is the most exciting miniature?

I sure think it is! This is Hymenorchis javanica. It is pretty rare in cultivation.
Very small plant about an inch to inch and a half across. the 5 flowers almost cover the plant! Love the white with that green spot on the lip
The flowers are crystalline and sparkle in the light. Almost looks like beaded glass!
I grow it in my intermediate greenhouse in a shady spot. I mist it daily.

Here is the plant with a penny for scale:

It's pretty exciting, I can't say it's the most exciting though.

Little crystal flowers..........they look amazing!

 

[SlipperKing]

Amazing for sure! Peter are you going to self it so that it can be more available???

Hmmm...I don't know! The flowers are so tiny i will need a magnifying glass to do the deed!

Oh, my absolutely adorable.

Great photos too. I can imagine teeny white flowers being a bit of a challenge.
