Despite the coerulea color form not being high on my wish list (and not being really blue), a few have found their way into my greenhouse. Here

C. Big Ben 'Blue Mountain' HCC/AOS (Portia x mossiae) has 5 flowers on the first inflorescence, and two more to come. Flowers are 13.6 cm natural spread (5.3/8"). Reportedly it can produce up to 9 flowers on a single inflorescence.

C. (C.G. Roebling x Dupreana), seed grown plant from Cal-Orchids. Flowers are a solid 17.8 cm NS (7"), and look just like C.G. Roebling.

Photo distorts the size difference, as the blooming lead on the plant to the right is leaning towards the camera.

Nice.

In fishing photos (where people show off their catch) we call that move the Florida push! You hold the fish with arms out and it looks huge!! Lol. Smart fisherman learn to look for the anglers elbows to see if it is a photo trick

I had no idea orchids would try too !! Lol

They are beautiful and the size is ideal, I hope that with the advancement of technology, large plants will give way to medium ones.

Well, the beautiful big-flowered ones tend to be on big plants. But there are many smaller ones that are also lovely. If you can find Lc. Mary Elizabeth Bohn 'Blue Flare', compact plant with lovely flowers, an old classic.
Sunset Valley Orchids has bred some lovely compact coeruleas much more recently (improving the odds of finding them).
