Lip is actually a vivid violet/fuchsia color.

Thanks all!

That's a beautiful one!! Is it fragrant? Sorry I'm useless name wise.

Like Joann said, it does look a little like C. Tropical Pointer 'Cheetah'. There's no way to know for sure. Mini-catts are all the rage right now and many breeders are coming up with new crosses every day. It seems like many of them are bifolates. Your orchid is beautiful. Good growing.

Thanks everyone - I know it's a longshot on I.D.s This one lost it's tag :p

It does look rather like the Tropical Pointer (I had "Tropical" or "jungle" in my head for this) - When I searched that hybrid I discovered a 'Spot' or 'Spots' cultivar that really looks like this one. So, I'll mark it No ID, possibly Tropical Pointer.

It really is a cutie! And just as cute with or without a name.

Nice to see mini-catts being popular - I'm getting more into them now - tho I guess my few others are more 'compact' than minis mostly, but smaller is even better!

No fragrance detected so far.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Sonya, you might have been thinking of Cattleya Jungle Eyes. Both Jungle Eyes and Tropical Pointer can vary quite a bit in appearance. But the red line in the center of the lip only seems to appear in C. Tropical Pointer so I think that's more likely what you have.

It sure looks like Tropical Pointer from the Orchid Wiz photos.

Thanks tucker and silken! I do believe that's the one!
