Henry Oakeley just gave a fantastic talk at our OS this past sunday and I'm now itching to try a mini one that I can fit in my growing space.

Calvin,
The parents of this primary hybrid are cruenta and skinneri. Cruenta is a more compact plant with smaller flowers, but this hybrid takes after the skinneri parent and is on the larger side. I would have loved to hear Henry Oakeley speak about lycastes...have you read his book? It's very good!
I'd recommend aromatica for a compact plant...it's got nice yellow flowers that have a cinnamon scent too! Good luck!
