Cattleya Guatemalensis 'Red'
Uncommon red variety of this primary cross between Cattleya aurantiaca and Cattleya skinneri (or, Guarianthe aurantiaca and Guarianthe skinneri). Cattleya x guatemalensis is also found in the wild as a natural hybrid.
I almost lost this plant three years ago when I was replacing the plastic cover of the grh. I hadn't noticed, but the plant had been left in a corner, unprotected and exposed a whole day to the tropical summer sun... Needless to say that when I saw, it was almost completely cooked!! It took me three years to get it back to a healthier condition and now I'm really glad I can see these flowers again!!!
