Bulbophyllum plumatum is an adorable dwarf species, bearing ribbon-like pink flowers on wiry stems.  Or possibly the flowers look like squid.  You decide.  The plant has almost a downward, shingle like growth habit to the leaves, and new foliage comes in with a purple blush which is very attractive.  You may also see this species labeled Cirrhopetalum, and sometimes Bulbophyllym or Cirrhopetalum jacobsonii.

Available plants are mounted, as I find they're easier to grow this way.  They'll be suitable in this format for terrarium or greenhouse cabinet culture.  If you just grow in the house, though, I do recommend you water daily as much as possible.  Keep them warm and in about low-medium light. 

You will get the plant shown or one similar in size.  They are not currently in bloom but are blooming size.  Water frequently, keep warm and humid.
