Mini Catts recommendations needed

[hera]

I am looking for some nice mini catts to grow in a south window. Would anyone like to chime in with their favorites? I'm not partial to one color or another, just would like a vigorus few.

Thanks

have you considered the Rupicolous Laelias ?? They are small and make a very nice collection.

Can you fill me in? I'm not familiar with them.

I have a Sc. Beaufort and several other members have crosses of Beaufort. It is a small or compact plant, very hardy and whereas most other small catt's have just croaked on me; this wonderful little thing just thrives no matter what mistakes I make. It has lovely bright yellow petals with a splash of red on the lip. The amount of red on the lip changes with the seasons.
Good Luck

Here is an American Orchid Society sheet on them

Thanks Ron, looks interesting.

Thanks Connie.

Come on people, I thought I'd get more input! I know there are mini catt growers out there. Shine a little light on me!

Well, here are a few to take a look at: Slc. Barefoot Mailman, Otr Island Flare, Slc Precious Beauty, Slc. Ken Dream 'Moonlight Lady', SC Crystelle Smity, and a cross still unnamed Slc. rajah's Ruby x Lc Mini Purple. That is a good variety to get you started. A yellow, couple of pink/purples, a wonderful orange, etc...

Cheers,
