In bloom in Sonoma. This is an unusual looking Cattleya flower. It is a cross between Laelia purpurata and Cattleya warscewiczii. I would never have guessed that Laelia purpurata was one of the parents. It is an old cross. I can't find the original date, but I see it used as a seed parent in 1907. It was re-made in 1985 and this plant is probably decended from that rather than the original cross.
