Question Can someone please help me to identify this orchid?

Hi everybody.
I know that is too difficult for someone to identify an orchid ,without a flower just from some photos.
The only thing that I do know, is that is a cold growing miniature orchid that grows up to 6cm tall.
If somebody can identify it please let me know.
Thanks a lot.

It's difficult if not impossible to identify an orchid even when it IS in bloom! That one should be a little easier to get the type of orchid, since it's not very common. It's a cute little bugger! I hope someone can hop in today with some help in narrowing it down a little. Good luck!
And....

Kinda reminds me of my little Maxilliara tenuifolia, not sure though. Definitely repost when it blooms.

Max tenuifolia gets a LOT bigger than 6 centimeters.
Can you contact the seller and send them a picture to help you out? That is, if you know who the seller is or was!

Question do the pseudobulbs kind of "stack" on top of one another? It looks like Stigmatostalix radicans.

LoL, There have been a lot of them posted on here lately and I just seen one at my local Orchid Society meeting. Orchid Gods must be telling me something.

Jenny -- yes...the orchid gods are speaking to you....time to pick one up. I love mine...you won't regret it.

As for the pics above...isn't it also possible that this could be another Sigmatostalix? Maybe not radicans. W/out flowers I believe that all look alike/similar. ?? Correct?

Smile radicans or another species

Yes, it could be another species.
I immediately thought radicans, b/c I've got one. Most of the sigmatostalix species look "grassy". I guess you'll just have to wait until it blooms to see!! Mine is in bloom now and it's been going strong for a month or so. They're well worth the trouble!
Good luck!!
