    Default Slc Crystelle Smith "BK Orchids"

    I bought this in bloom in July and here it is blooming again. It's a mini-catt, flowers are perhaps 2" in diameter, maybe a bit less. But I think it's a pretty little thing. Notice a slight fragrance. The pink seems to get a bit darker as the flower matures.

    This cross is the best minicatt! Everyone should get one if they want a compact easy blooming plant.

    Interesting that yours doesn't have red in the lips. I have the same clone, but my mine is very red inside. Either its diff growing coniditions or they are different clones. There are many out there. Also awesome that yours had fragrance, mine didn't so I'm jealous!

    The first catt in this thread is mine http://www.rv-orchidworks.com/orchid...ore-catts.html

    I third this notion. I was going to say the lip is amazing.
