This is a true mini, plant 1" tall, horizontal leaves 1.75" long, but the huge flower is 1" across and so incredibly colorful I can see it from across the greenhouse despite its small size. My first blooming of this. It's mounted on a treefern plaque and misted daily; hangs up high with more than cattleya light in intermediate temps.
