    Default Cattleya pygmaea (Pabst) Van den Berg, Neodiversity 3: 11 (2008).

    Or as most of you know it, Sophronitis pygmaea.

    Though I am not certain of the name as it could be a really small coccinea. The flower is 4 cm widebut the pseudobulbs are only 1-1.5 cm high!

    i think the flowers look delicious. a nice bright red-orange and distinct shape too. very nice. may have to add this to the wish list for outdoor orchids.
