My mini-catts from Sunset Valley Orchids have bloomed!
Hi guys,
The mini/compact catts that I recently bought from Fred/Sunset Valley Orchids have bloomed! He picked out 5 for me, of which 3 have bloomed. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I am!
Picture 1: L. alaorii v. delicata 'SVOII' x Sl. Minipet 'SVO'
Picture 2: Pot Rubescence SVO AM/AOS x Sc Orpetii 'Kathleen' AM/AOS.
Picture 3: As in picture 2 with different lighting
Picture 4: Pot Rubescence SVO AM/AOS x Slc Pink Doll 'Garnet Sea' AM/AOS.
Picture 5: As in picture 4 with different lighting
Pot Rubescence SVO AM/AOS x Sc Orpetii 'Kathleen' AM/AOS is huge for a mini/compact! plus it's very slightly sweet smelling... which is nice.
What do you guys think of the flower form for these chids?
Thanks for looking!

I like the first one and the last one, although I prefer the last one because it has fragrance. hmmm I should buy this one then. 
I like both the color and the flower shape on those.
I have one mini catt, LC. Secret love angel. It was in bloom for a long time for catts and its wonderful sweet scent filled up the entire house every morning! |

Thanks! Fred hand picked these for me, and many weren't in bloom when I went - I just had to trust his judgement when he said "buy these"! I'm glad I did... Now I can't wait for my other 2 to bud and bloom!
