Cute!
What an adorable flower! I realize this is a total newb question, but, I did see one of these mini-phals at Lowe's just the other day. I was tempted to buy it but wasn't sure... do these mini orchids stay that way? Or do they eventually grow larger?

Vrana, this one is a Phal with the name Mini Mark which is not as such a mini phal (it has pretty small flowers but is not a small plant).
To answer your question, most mini phals will stay that way. At least their leaves will stay small. I have one which is a mass of multiple growths (basel keikis) and is larger, although even that is still a lot smaller than the standard sort of size phals.
Phals can actually range in size, and those classed as Mini are just those relatively smaller, but they can be any size from massive ones to really really tiny delicate ones (even smaller than those classed as 'mini' in the mass market). I have some which are somewhere between a 'mini' and a standard size. The genetics of which species are in the parentage has a lot to do with the size they grow to.

So I have one of these but the name says Mini Mark "Holm"... is one of them incorrect or are they two different clones?

I think "Holm" is correct. There might be one called "Holmes" but I think its more likely meant to be "Holm". |

Shoot! I just checked and it is Holm. I'm spreading misinformation! Does anyone know how to change the title of a post? I can't seem to figure it out.

I've changed it for you. I don't think you can do it yourself. Forum supporters might be able to do their own, otherwise moderators need to do it.

Some pics of my two, but I've looked closer and they weren't actually branched this time. Probably less flowers than last time as well, but I've really been enjoying them
