@JMaurissen, please take a moment and go to your "Profile". Enter your location under "Public Profile" and then click on "Update". Now, every time you post we'll know where you are. Growing conditions, whether inside or outside is everything when it comes to growing plants. Thus, knowing where you are will help us answer your plant questions.

Keep in mind that most compact, sub-compact, and miniature plants will also have proportionally-sized flowers. A tiny plant stem simply cannot support a huge flower. Though I find the small/tiny flowers to be equally beautiful as the large, bold flowers of the standard-size orchids (such as the Cattleya Alliance orchids), they will never have the "pizazz" or volume of fragrance associated with the larger flowers. But for those growing in a small space (such as window sills), the smaller growers may be all that's practical to grow. There are lots of choices when it comes to the smaller orchids. Knowing your growing conditions (as much information as possible) will help determine what would work best for you.
