This charming species is one of the more rare examples of the ultra-miniature Cattleya group referred to as "hadrolaelias". This petite species was first collected growing epiphytically in the coastal state of Bahia, Brazil. The foliage of the plants is small, approximately standing only four inches tall! The flowers open to form a distinctive cupped shape with the 'front' about one inch in diameter, and are a soft crystalline pink with a slightly darker pink lip. A delightful addition to a miniature collection, or as a companion plant to outdoor orchids! Previously classified as a Laelia.
