      Love them too, like discovering a new world in a world, I had no idea before. Since you're excited, might as well point out this other cool genus, with flowers as small as a single cell thick (or better said, thin):

      Platystele sp., Bahia Solano, Colombia Meet one of the world's smallest orchids. The genus Platystele is known for orchids with tiny flowers, and within the genus, this one has some of the smallest flowers. A single flower is a mere 2-3mm in size.<br /> Taking this photo was horrible but also hilarious. We were in extremely heavy rain and I was sitting on the forest floor, two people holding umbrellas over my head whilst I tried to do a handheld shot of this absurdly small flower.
