Muscarella sp. - closeup, La Isla Escondida, Colombia I figured this to be a lepanthes sp. but it&#039;s another genus of miniature orchids called Muscarella. These frontal angles only show the &quot;lip&quot; of the flowering plant which unfortunately is not enough for species identification. Still, I hope these photos give a good feel of how impossibly tiny miniature orchids are.<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/72169/muscarella_sp._la_isla_escondida_colombia.html" title="Muscarella sp., La Isla Escondida, Colombia"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/72169_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1770854410&Signature=5PrV4RzR8h7%2F9yEILb6OgcG5oJs%3D" width="200" height="134" alt="Muscarella sp., La Isla Escondida, Colombia I figured this to be a lepanthes sp. but it&#039;s another genus of miniature orchids called Muscarella.

Muscarella sp. - closeup, La Isla Escondida, Colombia

I figured this to be a lepanthes sp. but it's another genus of miniature orchids called Muscarella. These frontal angles only show the "lip" of the flowering plant which unfortunately is not enough for species identification. Still, I hope these photos give a good feel of how impossibly tiny miniature orchids are.
