Default Cattleya Pão-de-Açúcar 'Fleurs'
Lavender clones of this cross are less common, but reflect the influence of C. Brabantiae which is in the background (or Cattleya loddigesii in the end!). Also, due to the presence of C. aclandiae and C. schilleriana it is hard to find a multi-floral C. Pão-de-Açúcar, but sometimes it is possible. The name honours the famous Sugar Loaf Hill in the City of Rio de Janeiro.
