A Nice Minicatt
This is Lctna. Jairak Jewel that I don't find listed with RHS. Maybe someone with Orchidwiz can look it up. It has six, two and a half inch flowers and two buds with another spike starting. This is the second blooming and it only blooms once a year. Hopefully it will bloom twice when it gets a little older. The colors are vibrant and the flowers are long lasting but there is no scent. It enjoys a lot of air and basket culture.

Wow Jerry! Those practically glow in the dark! Beautiful! OrchidWiz says it is now called Gratrixara Jairik Jewel (Guarisophleya Little Irene x Guaritonia Why Not). You can definitely see the Ctna. Why Not in it's lip!

Dorothy, I purchased the plant last spring at the Orlando show from Krull Smith Orchids.
Yvan, It is about seven inches tall.
Terry, Thanks for looking up the parentage for me.
