Beautiful Leptotes, Kathy. What is it planted in?

Which one of the ca. 170 species are we talking about? And then or perhaps in addition we have those which have been renamed.

Hilarious! Oh, just wondering about the livida. I try to save the miniatures for this thread. The livida has 2" pseudobulbs and 6" leaves. When you say 6" foliage, that would include the pseudobulbs, right?

Dendrobium kingianum"Little Beauty" is under 4 inches tall, so does that make it a mini?

It is covered in bloom so I assume this is the mature height. You can see it on the Santa Barbara site. http://www.sborchid.com/plantd...
Sorry no camera yet. Mine is in a 2 inch pot.
