Below is one of my miniature Cattleya hybrids: Rlc. Scott Dailey. It is probably the smallest miniature Cattleya hybrid flower that I have seen, that still has the "standard" shape. I like the artshade that it has, plus the contrasting red in the lip! I have also added a quarter for comparison.







Interestingly this flower was from the same cross!


These are the two parents:
Sl. Mariottiana flava:


Pot. Luna Jaune:

Did you make this cross, or did you buy it from someone? I have a Rupicolous Laelia that's in bud and hopefully will bloom (from Chaz Smith, Laelia fournieri x S. cernua). My guess is a flower about the size of a nickle or dime.

I made both the Sl. Mariottiana flava (with one of our sophronitis coccinea flava), and this cross (Rlc. Scott Dailey). Post a picture of your Rupicolous laelia once it blooms!

Well, back in 2014, the bud blasted. Fast forward 3 years, and attached is the first flower (photo from late September). The second flower blasted, but a third flower is forming. Not as red as I hoped, but the segments are wider. Flower about the size of a nickel.
