This miniature Cattleya is a hybrid of Sc. Beaufort and Slc. Minipet. I've grown it from a very small seedling and this is the best it's bloomed. The flowers are well-shaped and have very good color. It is now, due to name changes, simply Cattleya Minibeau.

Potinara Martha Clarke x Sophrocattleya Beaufort
This is an unregistered and unnamed hybrid of Potinara Martha Clarke and Sophrocattleya Beaufort, and, yes, I know that the names have changed but I can neither get used to or remember them. Under the old system of names this would be a Potinara, a combination of four genera, Cattleya, Sophronitis, Laelia, and Brassavola, but beautiful by any name. The plant is very small, heavily influenced by its Sophronitis background, 5-6 inches. The flowers are small, also, 2 inches across, somewhat smaller than one would have expected from this cross.
