Two tiny specks of beauty (Chiloschista usneoides)

These beautiful small flowers of Chiloschista usneoides are about the size of my small finger nail! The inset photo is a stack of 8 photos using Helicon Focus.

Chiloschista usneoides is a leafless (or nearly so) epiphyte orchid and a member of the Vanda alliance that hails from the Himalayan foothills in northern India and surrounding countries. Since it is essentially a bundle of roots that perform nearly all the food-making functions for the plant, it is best grown mounted. (www.tallyorchid.org/)
