Smallest Lycaste? Female
Default Smallest Lycaste?

I know someone asked a question about the biggest lycaste, so I'm going to ask the exact opposite.

I'm running out of room, so I don't have space for the 2-3ft leaves. Are there any Lycaste species (or hybrids) that are smaller? The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Lycaste aromatica. I love the look of their flowers, but I haven't gotten one yet because the ones I've seen for sale are huge !

Lycaste Lemon Twist 'Mini Profusion'. This is a primary hybrid of Lycaste tricolor and cambellii. The flowers are less than 2" wide. The plant stays very small and compact for a Lycaste. This plant originally came from Hoosier Orchids.
