This view of the Pacific Ocean is literally just a 5- minute drive from Andy's Orchids. I go here every morning after breakfast during my visits.

I’m standing next to the first pleurothallid that I ever saw. It’s the exact same plant, which has been in the exact same spot since 2002, when the ABG opened the Fuqua Orchid Center. I couldn’t believe it was an orchid. To me, it looked like some sort of Anthurium. In 2002, the internet wasn’t what it is today, so information on pleurothallids wasn’t easy to come by. Fast-forward to around 2009, when I moved back to Atlanta, and started visiting the FOC on a regular basis. I started doing some research, and found a website for a place called Andy's Orchids, which specialized in orchid species, especially pleurothallids. I dug a little deeper, and found a blog called “Orchids In Bloom” by Ron Hanko. This blog displayed wonderful photos of Ron’s miniature orchids grown in his homemade orchidarium. I also came across a wonderful flickr page by Wiel Driessen, which showcased his incredible collection of miniature orchids, especially Lepanthes! After seeing miniature pleurothallids growing in terrariums set up for dart frog habitats, I decided to set up an old 45-gallon aquarium to try to grow these plants myself. About 10-years later, and after a lot of trial-and-error, I’m still growing these odd, but beautiful, orchids, although I stick to the truly miniature species, which doesn’t include the species in this post. It’s a hobby that never gets old or stale, because I am constantly learning something new.

Pleurothallis correllii - a little guy I found hiding at the @atlbotanical gardens. It was almost transparent. It’s label had @kevin_holcomb_atl named on it. And I know he has some better photos of it out there. That is what is so impressive about the gardens. They have the littlest things most people wouldn’t even notice squirreled away in the littlest nooks.

Paid a visit to @peachstateorchids today. I love this miniature fern! It's Drynaria rigidula whiteii. For reference, I'm 5'8". 🙃
