S wittigiana is what I was thinking of. brevipedunculata is nice too.
Fordyce had some of the best coccineas - a 4N from Japan that he uses in
breeding, but maybe a piece escaped into other hands. Fred Shull is selling
off his collection, he may have some of these, or at least some advice.
Dennis Olivas may have some too. I *think* Fred Shull will be selling at
the Paph House's (Fred & Francisco) open house Dec 2. Alan Koch made a
hybrid with L praestans and L alaorii that I thought was gorgeous. No name
yet.

Sophronitis? S. cernua et al but there's a Soph argh... very small,
coccinea shape...Rubra? (an old name...) anyway J&L has these, but you'd
probably do better to get them locally or from Andy's. L alaorii (Alan
Koch has these) Or any of the L pumila types - plus the L. dayanas at
SBOE looked great.(you had some good one's in your recent page)

I mention species becasue I know you are a species nut.

What else is fun.... golly I can't think. Most Mini cats are going to be
rather big... or sprawly.

Hey everyone,

With my new Orchidarium, I've got the ability to grow some minicatts.
Unfortunately, minicatt in the greenhouse world can be a GIANT in my
Orchidarium. I was wondering if anyone had advice on *really* small
minicatts, under 6" blooming size. I plan on mounting whatever I get,
rather than growing in a pot.

I have good humidity and a temp range of 60-70 to 80 depending upon how
warm it is outside. As we move into winter, my days aren't hitting 76,
78, 80 like they were 2 months ago, but my nights are staying at 60-62.

Thanks!
