Mini Phal

What exactly is a mini phal? Is it just a young phal? Or is it a phal that stays small? Does anyone have any pictures? Or does anyone know where to find some pictures?

A mini Phal is a Phal that just stays small. The blooms can be as small as your pinky fingernail. Here are a couple of pics of two mini Phals. The pinkish one is Phal Fantasy 'Musick' and the white one is Phal Mini Mark 'Holm'

I'll have to get back to you with the pictures. I have the two that Jenny mentioned and then I have a Phal. Be Tris (somebody else does,too) which is probably not a true mini, but just a compact grower (it gets a little larger and the flowers are about an inch and a half) The problem is that it takes me a while to load the pictures and I have to get ready for work tomorrow The bright side of working is that it pays for more orchids...)I'll post later--watch this thread
