Big flowers get more attention, but don’t overlook the little ones. They may be tiny, or downright tough to see, but small orchid flowers are just as intricate and fascinating as showier blooms. These photos from July’s Orchids in the Park<\/em> event<\/a> highlight a few of their marvels.<\/p>\n

\"Dendrobium<\/a>\"Stenoglottis<\/a>\"Polystachya<\/a><\/p>\n

Dave’s and my cameras can compensate a lot for tiny blossoms and farsighted eyes. Often, I don’t see flower details until later, when I’m looking at large digital images on my computer. Small blooms can come from big plants, but most are mini orchids<\/a>, like the three Pleurothallids<\/a> in the next row of photos.<\/p>\n

\"Pleurothallopsis<\/a>\"Masdevallia<\/a>\"Porroglossum<\/a><\/p>\n

See more photos from Orchids in the Park, with big and small flowers, in my previous posts here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Below, the final row of pictures shows three color variations of Dendrobium cuthbertsonii, a charming miniature that comes in many brilliant hues. This cool grower<\/a> boasts blooms over an inch (2.5 cm) which dwarf its tiny leaves. No matter how little, it’s tough to overlook these gems.<\/p>\n
