I did a quick search and found a link to here on the OB.... Den Banana Royal - Orchid Board Galleries

It's a beauty!

[Erce]

how big are the bulps, does it qualify as a miniature?

[Matilda]

Yay! Thank you!

Can't wait to see mine bloom

Erce, I don't know how big they get. Mine is tiny. The mount is 5-1/2" at its longest and 2-1/2" at its widest.

Here is a photo of Banana Royal (Liholiho x canaliculatum). We made the cross several times, so this is probably from a more recent remake. The Den Liholiho was a large plant with concolor yellows. The canaliculatum used was the larger, 4-5" tall, yellow form. If you look closely at photo 1, you can see a slight pink toward the back of the lip.

Photo 2 is a back cross of Banana Royal x canaliculatum. You can see more of the coloring in the lip from the canaliculatum. Your plant should eventually reach about 10" tall.
