Dendrobium Mini Snowflake


This hybrid from species of the Latouria section of Dendrobium has two great virtues, it is quite floriferous and the flowers are long lasting.  A big plant can become covered with flowers in a manner reminiscent of the Guarantianthe orchids when in full bloom.  However, the flowers of this Dendrobium last longer than those of a Guarianthe.

Brassolaeliocattleya Koa's Delight 'Sparky'


A cute "mini" Cattleya.  These plants are called "mini cattleya" because they are much smaller in plant and flower size than the "classical" Cattleya, the corsage orchid, which are larger.  You can grow several of these hybrids in the space that would take a single plant of a standard or classical Cattleya hybrid.

Potinara Creation 'Summer Choice'




This orchid was photographed at the 2012 Mayaguez Orchid Show, at the Mayaguez Mall.  The plant is relatively small and the flowers are medium sized for a Cattleya hybrid.  However the combination of delicate hues on the petals and the bright color of the lip was very eye catching.
