Which one? Where is it? I can't see it? (wink)

Catalog download page
Phone number is at the top. They are very good to deal with on the phone, inventory numbers and everything right at their fingertips - I assume its all electronic. Even have had the person who takes the order check some old stuff to see if it was still available.

Another beauty, really interesting speckling and colouring.

Glad you like this little mini. The plant's only about 4" tall. I had a hard time getting the colors right the last time it bloomed, but got it right this time.
Good news & bad news. Bad news first. Bad news is that Slc Petite Elf is from a number of years back & no longer available.
Good news is that here are a couple of photos of current crosses. They are also offspring of a very good Lc Jungle Elf. Lc Lucky Charms (C Gene May x Lc Jungle Elf) & Lc Jungle Elf x C Lulu. The Lc Jungle Elf shrinks the plant size, C Gene May & C Lulu increase flower size & improve shape. All parents contribute to spotting, color & lip color.

They're both stunning! Real characters, all of them! Thank you for updating us. I bet these sell really well? I don't see many minis with that awesome spotting.
Are there any fragrant species in their background?
Would these do well on a bright south/west facing windowsill?

Southwest window should provide good light.
It's funny, being around so many flowers & sometimes I don't know if certain ones are fragrant. Some I smell before I see them, like Enc alata & some cycnoches. I don't usually stick my nose in unless I detect a fragrance. Maybe it's residual behavior from when I was a child & my mother told me it was bad manners to smell my food when eating (as opposed to enjoying the fragrance of food).
Anyway, I did check this morning. Slc Petite Elf doesn't seem to have a fragrance. As I expected, because of their background, the other 2 do have a nice light C aclandiae type fragrance.

Thanks for checking! My mom scoffs at me when I stick my nose right into all of my flowers, just to check for a scent. When I was little, I'd come in from the garden with a nose positively caked with pollen.
