Laelia purpurata roxo-violetta? in bloom
Unfortunatly I can't claim the credit for making this beauty flower (my father and mother did). I think it's Laelia purpurata var. roxo-violetta but I'm not sure in the variety. Could be Laelia purpurata var. roxo-violetta marginata to or vinicolor?. My parents saved this plant from a retiring grower from frost at the end of last year. This was one of their doubles and due to the dark purple my favorite "semi-alba".

When there is some more light from the back the colour is a little bit more bright but the picture is pretty close.
var. roxo-violetta is the same as var. aco (according to Menezes

With all the name changes, is Laelia purpurata the same as Sophronitis purpurata, which in turn has been renamed Cattleya purpurata?
Just wondering because I bought Sophronitis purpurata on the spur of the momment just over a week ago and just wondering if it is the same species as this.
