Thanks James, they are small, maybe some 3inches long:-)

I would think they would make a nice mounted plant. Maybe get something really special for the mount like a spectacular piece of driftwood or clay figure and mount it. Hang it from your window. I might look over at Andy's Orchids for something like this.

GORGEOUS plant Katrina, I hope mine will grow to this size!
I got only small division, I saw one when I was buying my orchid supplies, it was grown exactly as you say, in Cattleya light, and it was mounted on flat laid big piece of cork, she told me that it likes to be on the flat laying piece. Than when I did stop on the way at another seller and bought few things, I asked him if he has this mini, and he said not for sale, but he can give me small division for free, and so I got one, as I said, it is some 8 pseudobulbs maybe, and some 3 inches, I did mount on the cork. I hope this one will grow for me, it is so extremely cute. I will post picture of it later today:-)

It looks awesome mounted and I love to mount on "flatbed" as I call it, I did buy for that purpose already Cattleya luteola that I saw mounted this way and must try it myself, and now this little guy. I do not use driftwood anymore, first, it is heavy to hang, second it get mold pretty fast pretty often here in Miami weather, so I like either tree fern, cork slab or cholla wood. Going to water now and than post picture of my mount later today:-)

ok, so here is few pics, sorry for the quality but it is so disgustingly humid outside today that camera did not defog even after 15 minutes:-) Actually I counted bulbs and it seems like it is 10 plus one tiny new growing. And this is my so called "flatbed" mounting, which means I hang it horizontal way. Last pic is Cattleya luteola also mounted horizontal.
