Cattelya Alliance - Orchid Board

Have been growing orchids for 20+ years under lights and windowsill. Would like a recommendation for a miniature that would do for my conditions. I don't have a lot of room, mostly Phals and a few species. Anyone have suggestions as what would be the best? Deal mostly with mail order greenhouses. Location is central PA. Can summer outside. Any suggestions appreciated.

you could also get a hybrid like Bl Yellow Bird. It is a primary hybrid ( i am not so interested in general in complex hybrids - but there are exceptions). I got one stays small and grows multiple leads. I burned it and i accidentally broke some growths and seems to keep going. It can't take as much light as Brassavola Little Stars but it is similar in the growth habit.
