You can just barely see it hanging down in that last photo. Hope you like it! I'm hoping the sepals straighten out a bit over the week so I can get a better picture.

That is really cool. What alliance does this species belong to?

Here's the link to the Wikipedia page on the genus: linkIt's in Laeliinae, which I think puts it in the Cattleya alliance.

It is in the Cattleya Alliance. Many of the species resemble tiny Epidendrums.

I have an Isochilus also spiking, hopefully blooming the next two weeks.

Any chance of crossing them for something new?

I wish I knew how. if someone were to give me a tutorial I would be glad to.

On a normally sized Laeliinae, I could easily show you. These mini minis are outside of my expertise though!

They're not even miniature! The canes are over a foot long, almost two, and they're around a foot with my Isochilus as well. However, these flowers are so small, and their columns are unnavigably tight. I'm 2 hours from Orchids Limited, and i thought about asking them if they could do it.
