I have had two unmarked orchids bloom in the last two years that look to me to be similar to photos of cattleya(laelia) crispa. The first I posted here on orchid board for ID help in 3/2/2012. The second just bloomed. People thought the first was likely a crispa cross. I need some education as a beginner. What are the characteristics that make this a cross rather than a species. Are these seedling variations of the same plant? Thank you
