Pot Beaufort's Gold 'Susan Fender'
 
Color on this one tends to vary depending upon light intensity and temperature during bud development. This time it has a bit more orangy/reddish tinting than at other times when the yellow is a bit brighter/cleaner. Typically blooms 2-3X per year.

Very nice! I love those mini-catts.

That one has a nice, neat look to it. I really appreciate the orchids that bloom more than once a year. Congratulations!

Saweeeeet. Can't beat the mini catts

I like the yellow! It's awesome that you get blooms multiple times throughout the year.

Wow, amazing colour on this one.

May I ask how tall your plant is? I have an orange potinara, George's Jewel 'Ursula', that has not bloomed and is quite short -- about 6 inches total. I have seen potinaras as tall as 14 inches, so I'm wondering if there is a varying height range for these mini cats.

Thanks!

To be an mini catt, the plant should top out at 6 inches or less (not counting flower spike). However, many vendors play footloose-and-fancy-free with the term "mini". As such, if short stature happens to be a requirement or highly desirable, it is wise to always ask the vendor just how tall a mature plant will become.

"Compact" catts are between 6-12 inches tall.

Beaufort is a mini ... though once in a while it grows a leaf sticking straight up that flirts with the 6.5 inch mark.
