Here are some examples- all are hybrids available from Gold Country. As I understand, they stay under 12-8", generally flowering in 2-3" pots. Give or take. It's a pretty informal name, loose definition. What Duane is talking about, basically- adults in 2" pots.

Slc. Sacramento Ruby (Slc. Lorikeet x Slc. Bright Angel)

I think Catt. luteola, definitely L. alaorii might be considered micro-minis.

I have one that will be close. a Pot. Samantha Duncan 'Paradise' in my gallery. And I have a new cross from Gold Country that is on the small end of miniatures, but is not listed on their site yet. C. Little Dipper x Slc. Sierra Doll.

Sierra Doll from Gold Country is one of my favorites. http://www.goldcountryorchids.com/st...ary=&keywords=



Here's one (not from GC) that I hope stdale2003 doesn't mind me linking, a very sweet tiny one. Sc. Cherry Bee Lovely Sc. Cherry Bee

WOW! Lovely! Thanks for the photos! So, when you have a mini one, like the Sc. Cherry Bee for example, do those need to be watered more often because they are in a smaller pot (which to my brain thinks it would dry out more)?

They are just lovely!

Yes, you could say that. Like other catts- they dry out between waterings. But as you say- since they're in smaller pots, that tends to be more often. Use skewers!
