A hybrid of Schomburgkia

[pheli]

This one was labelled as Schomburgkia lueddemanii while I purchased it without seeing the flowers several years ago. It bloomed recently and obviously, it is not the real S. lueddemanii. I regard it a cross of Schomburgkia, most likely with cattleya. The p-bulb is tall, about 20-30cm and the elongated spike reaches one meter.
The flowers are waxy and with pleasing fragrance.

Very nice, whatever it is called!

It looks kind of like Schombocattleya Louise Fuchs. Here is a link to TOF with a pic of this one: Tropical Orchid Photo Gallery The shape is a bit different, but not overly so.

Jan, it is indeed a problem for us to buy some species orchids. In the past years, I have brought a lot of unexpected home, but luckily, most of them are easy plants and have good flowers.


Thank you, Steve.
Mine looks really like Schombocattleya Louise Fuchs. I will also ask the dealer for further confirmation.
