Suggest a mini-cat for me
 

Ok, I know you all are enablers and I haven't grown a cat alliance plant in 20-30 years (unless you count the unflowered epidendrum in the kitchen). And maybe I 'need' one?
What I'd like is something that remains small enough for window culture (thus mini-cat) and I like a complex (2 or 3) colored rounded flower, like these as examples from current Hausermann 'What's New'.
Blc. Shinfong Castle: Orchids By Hausermann
Blc. Goldenzelle Lemon Chiffon: Orchids By Hausermann
Blc. Fong Yuan Beauty: Orchids By Hausermann
So entice me, names and/or link and I'll look them up.

Those three are large Cattleyas, not minis. They are small mericlones now but will get quite big. Most people's windowsills aren't wide enough to accommodate a 6"-8" pot. I can't get to Hausermann's site right now to see what mini Catts they might have. They usually have some.

Not flowering an Epidendrum is an indication you don't have enough light. If the Epi. won't flower, mini Catts are unlikely to flower unless you use supplemental lighting.

Hausermann might have some mini Catts.

Alan Koch at Gold Country Orchids specializes in them. He has spoken to our Society several times and always brings very nice plants. Write to him at gcorchids@aol.com to get a current plant list. He is also on Facebook but I'm not so I haven't seen the page.

Fred Clarke at Sunset Valley Orchids also specializes in mini Catts. There are a lot listed on his Web site now.

No, I know those aren't minis (or assumed)...but those are the flower shapes/colors I like (as examples to guide suggestions).
The epi will probably flower this year, it's just young.

Fred Clarke at SVO generally has tons of mini Catts. He has enabled my collection greatly!!

This is just one of his that blooms for me frequently: 7753 Lc Mini Purple f. coerulea (Lc
Mini Purple f. coerulea 'Blue Hawaii
4n' X self).

Email him. He will hook you up. Happy growing. ROBB

Both Gold Country and Sunset Valley have lots of similar mini Catts. Alan Koch breeds for very small size, flowers in many colors, and flowering more than once a year. Fred Clarke breeds a lot of yellow/red/peach colors, petal flares, and lip/tepal color contrasts.

That's a bit subtle for me, but lovely. I'll check into the suggestions (I already am)...though I love a personal recommendation such as yours.

Most of SVOs plants are unseen hybrids which will be pretty variable. I would ask him for a recommendation. I'm sure he will be happy to help! Info straight from the source!

These are both 'classic' small Cattleyas because they are fragrant and frequent bloomers:
Hawaiian Prominence 'America'
Potinara Burana Beauty 'Burana' (there are other clones of this, too)

I don't know your conditions but have you considered rupiculous?

Basically average house...60 winter low to 80 summer highs (probably more like 70...but windowsill will vary a bit). I can give southern or western exposure.
