Hormidium pygmaeum (syn. Encyclia pygmaea)

Hormidium pygmaeum (syn. Encyclia pygmaea)Well established blooming size plant in a 3" basket. Limited quantity! This species is one of the northern most growing epiphytic orchids in the world! Historically found as far north as Florida and as far south as Brazil. Mini small rambling plant. Prefers to be mounted or in hanging baskets where most of the plant can just hang in the air. The non resupinate white flowers (that turn light green towards the tips of the petals) are the size of a shirt

Generally blooms late winter-spring
