Laelia gracilis
This miniature orchid is an uncommon species native to Brazil naturally growing on rocky ledges. It bears a beautiful pale yellow flower in the Spring that is star-shaped with pointed petals and sepals. There is not a whole lot known about the species, although it is easy to care for. I recommend it to a beginner.
