I know I have posted this one before. But it has never had this many blooms before. I do believe it would have been better than this if I had given it a bit more water. It had 3 growths mature at the same time but one didn't have any buds which I'm sure was my fault I got this one in my very first order from Sunset Valley Orchids as a free one. It has become one of my fav's as it is an easy grower and is what a compact is suppose to be. A smaller plant with blooms that look like a standard. It does have a nice sent but not real strong. The color is a bit darker than my pictures always come out.

Beautiful!
The more I grown orchids the more I like hybrid Cats. They seem to easy bloom and care than another orchids. I prefer compact/ mini hybrid Cat.

Sometimes the free/cheap orchids are the best.

Yes, you got to love the freebies. The hybrids do seem easy but not all species are difficult. I just don't have to many of them.
Thank you all for looking.
