After seeing Bud's broughtonia I had to share mine. This is one of the cutest small orchids. This one has two spikes 5 to 7 flower per spike. Flower is smaller than the size of a quarter. It has a very mild clean fragrance.
I have it planted in hydroton, in a wood slat basket. It stays outside getting morning sun till about noon. I brought it inside when we dipped under 40 degrees this pass winter because it's such a small plant. I can see the roots coming out from the hydroton, through the slats., and it does fine in all our Florida rain, because of being in the hydroton.
If you want something smaller than a cattleya this is an ideal one
