Laelia (Cattleya) cattleyoides

[RobS]

My parents have this plant with a name tag Laelia cattleyoides (also known as × Sophrocattleya cattleyioides and Microcattleya cattleyioides ). This should be a natural hybrid between Laelia lundii (Kew= Cattleya lundii) and Cattleya lodigesii. I've been able to find some information in the following article, but no pictures.

Found some pictures under Lc. fredna (the man made version) which according to the article should be the same these flowers look similar.

It flowered as well last winter when I posted it in the identification section but the new flower is much more beautifull.

Anybody able to know the difference between Lc. fredna and the natural hybrid? I know this plant is already in Europe for several decades. When and where is Lc. fredna first created?
