Any idea what Lealia (Cattleya) this is???

[Orchid killer]

Can any one point me in the right direction with this Lealia. I don't think it is a species ... perhaps a primary hybrid of one of the repiculous laelias? Can anyone shed some light or point me in the right direction. Thank you.
I have also attached a pic of the plant if it is of any help.

Probably a hybrid with a lot of Laelia cinnabarina in the heredity. If it is a hybrid, and the ID tag is lost, there is no way to assign a specific name to it based on appearance.

Laelia cinnabarina would be a good basis for figuring out how to care for it, though. Good luck.

It's beautiful whatever it is

My first thought was Laelia harpophyla (very similar to cinnabarina); but either way its a rupiculous Laelia or a hybrid with lots of rupi Laelia in its background.

You can treat it like any rupi Laelia. It will like to dry off fairly quickly and likes bright light.

I have just purchased my first rupicolous laeia sanguiloba. I have a couple of question which I would like you comment please.

But let me send a new thread so that others can add.

Many thanks for your imput.
