Mini Palmer and Mimi Palmer are both 1/2 V. tessellata. Mini Palmer wouldn't necessarily be a small plant, though smaller than a full Vanda, but that wouldn't necessarily be true of its progeny. I wouldn't be surprised if Mini was named for a resemblance to Mimi but somewhat smaller stature. It might be impossible to tell if Mini or Mimi was involved here if there really is some question. I think the color of the flower in your second picture is more likely to have come from Mini's ancestry than Mimi's though.
