Schombocattleya Living Jewel
 

Not sure if this even has a species name as I don't think it's a registered hybrid. Bought this around a year ago from Eli's Orchids in Puerto Rico. Very happy with how it turned out, as this is the first bloom. Large waxy flowers with a lot of the Schom. influences visible in the shape.

This is a hybrid between Lc. Rose Drop and Schom. Undulata.

I took pictures in shade and in the light to show the differences.
