Rlc. Scott Dailey -miniature Cattleya-

[Drorchid]

Below is one of my miniature Cattleya hybrids: Rlc. Scott Dailey. It is probably the smallest miniature Cattleya hybrid flower that I have seen, that still has the "standard" shape. I like the artshade that it has, plus the contrasting red in the lip! I have also added a quarter for comparison.







Interestingly this flower was from the same cross!


These are the two parents:
Sl. Mariottiana flava:


Pot. Luna Jaune:

I really like the Sl. Mariottiana. I used to have the red form and would love to have it again. The plants were so tiny and the flowers so vibrant.

Thanks for posting the pics.

Very interesting result for the first one with the ruffled red edge on the lip.

Sweet flowers. Really great for windowsill growers.

very pretty. I wonder here the orange and red comes from?

That is smaller than miniature!

Did you make this cross, or did you buy it from someone? I have a Rupicolous Laelia that's in bud and hopefully will bloom (from Chaz Smith, Laelia fournieri x S. cernua). My guess is a flower about the size of a nickle or dime.

I made both the Sl. Mariottiana flava (with one of our sophronitis coccinea flava), and this cross (Rlc. Scott Dailey). Post a picture of your Rupicolous laelia once it blooms!

Well, back in 2014, the bud blasted. Fast forward 3 years, and attached is the first flower (photo from late September). The second flower blasted, but a third flower is forming. Not as red as I hoped, but the segments are wider. Flower about the size of a nickel.

Looks more yellow than red, but that's not a bad thing.
