A forgotten cattleya - Orchid Board

Dear All;
This is a picture of a big cattleya that I have since 3 years. I received it from a friend wich have received it from an other friend .... but without identification. It flowered regularly in August. It seems to me that maybe it a laeliocattleya made from laelia (cattleya now) purpurata x cattleya mossiae. If my assumptions are right it is a laeliocattleya amazone or williamsonii registered at the beginning the 1900. Currently we can see pictures of the hybrid obtained from de coerulea forms of the parents, there are laeliocattleya canhamiana. What do you think of my suspicions?

Aboard Intruder...it's great to have you join the OB community. A wealth of knowledge here at the OB. Nightly on the OB has scheduled chats, not that we always stay on task but everyone is welcome. I have not gotten a change to see if you have started up your personal gallery, but what a great place to keep

s of your orchids. You have a lovely bloom

going on and hopefully your assumptions are correct.

Welcome to the Orchid Board. Nice to have you join us.
I wonder how many other types of orchids have been lost to history?

accident lawyers deal with cases involving injuries sustained by people through car accidents. The lawyers defend victims of accidents in which most of the causal agents are acts of negligence by the car drivers. Car accidents claim many lives and leave many victims with cataclysmic injuries every year. In addition, most hearings of cases involving car accidents are usually convoluted and cannot be handled by the accident victims alone.
