SLC Tiny Titan
Another SC Beaufort cross with many awarded progeny.
Most of the plants range from red to yellow with most somewhere in between. |

Yeah this is a terrific little plant, I have a number of crosses with Tiny Titan as a parent.
Yours is a beauty!

A really beautiful color combo. First one that makes me want to rethink hybrid Cat alliance. Normally I don't do frilly poofy flowers like most hybrid cats, but this is real different. Orange isn't all that common in the flower world and tends to really stand out - no matter what genera. |

I always have the impulse of crossing the yellow Tiny Titan with a green Cattleya guttata... the small and the big... Crazy me!

That might just be an interesting cross. SLC Tiny Titan has SLC Precious Stones as one parent, and Precious Stones has C. aclandiae as one parent. My guess is that you will get yellow/green to red progeny with spotting, and the size of gutta will be cut way down. |

Just wondering if my plant is misnamed. I got it a number of years ago from a friend and the tag was almost unreadable, but I could make out the word "titan" and that it came from Gold Country Orchids. I checked out their catalogue and picked out the name Slc. Tiny Titan. However I've since been told that it is probably not! My reservation is mostly to do with the size of the plant. Is Tiny Titan supposed to be small? Mine is now outgrowing a 6" pot with a leaf span of about 24" and a height of about 14" from the base of the pot.  Your opinions, please.?

That's much too large for SLC Tiny Titan, and the flower shape is different. Perhaps it is a cross with it?
SLC Tiny Titan is mature in a 3 or 4" pot and the entire plant is maybe 6" tall or so.
