Potinara, though most Pots have been reclassifed and not always with the same name. What's the hybrid name and I'll look it up for you on OrchidWiz.

"Potinara, abbreviated Pot in horticultural trade, is an intergeneric hybrid of orchids, with Brassavola, Cattleya, Laelia and Sophronitis as parent genera."
as per Wikipedia - Potinara - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brassavola can also include Rhyncholaelia

Cattleya can include Guarianthe

I put a question on the Cattleya forum about a RhyncoSophroCatteleya =Potinara Luna Jaune 'Yellow Kitty', and so obviously there is a lot of it about! I got the answer I was looking for! Thanks!
