Sophronitis pygmaea (now a Cattleya)

[Magnus A]

Thank´s

It took me about 10 years to find it, or to put it in another way. This has been on my wish list since I started with orchids...

[Leafmite]

Glad you finally found it! It is always a wonderful feeling to find that long sought treasure!

[Magnus A]

With some time the color faded to a nice fire orange!

[Franco24]

Very nice! I love it - great growing.

[Tindomul]

That is just wild!!!! I love the colour, and the deep green leaves with the scarlet red flower, so nice.

[Magnus A]

Thank´s

Before these two flowers fadet a third opened up and it is still going strong in my growing cabinet!
Will try to give it a rest before this years growth starts!

My Sophronitis pygmaea try to bloom. But some peoples said me, it's little cernua, because pygmaea must has long leafes. I'll wait bloom

The foliage looks like my sophronitis mantiqueirae with the red pigment on the edges of the short leaves.
