Looks like a Sobralia. I just surfed the IOSPE dictionary under Sobralia and this is just a guess that it's a hybrid. It has the color of powellii and the lip of pumila.

Remember that's just a wild guess !!!

Looks like a Cattleya with Rhyncholaelia digbyana as one of the parents? Sorry can't help more than that.

It is impossible to 100% correctly ID a plant from how it looks and flowers, especially a hybrid.

Once a NOID, always and NOID!

Thanks Merlyn,
Thanks Oscarman,

I was looking for IOSPE, I looked at all of Sobralia orch. but I could not find, yet

I do not think Rhyncholaelia but may be its

In fact, It is so quite old variety 1950 and after so I am guessing.
Therefore, very important to me

It isn't a Sobralia. Oscarman is right that it's a Cattleya alliance hybrid with R. digbyana in its background but beyond that ID is impossible.

As Ron said, it is not possible to identify with any certainty. It does, however, resemble the cross between Rhyncolaelia (formerly Brassavola) Digbyana and Cattleya (formerly Laelia) pupurata. This hybrid is known by the uninspired name Rc. (Bl.) Digbyana-Purpurata.
(If you google it, just type 'digbyana purpurata')

thanks ronaldhanko,
thanks BruceP,

You might be right, I may not find ID
in fact, There was a pot tag, probably It is disappeared so I can not find.

so in my opinion, characteristic Catt.variety or hyb ect. It seems to me as if.

Also, in my estimation, closer to the right answer in three of, thanks.



It looks a lot like L. purpurata x B. digbyana. Perhaps, It variety of his.
thanks.

I too have the same cross between Rhyncolaelia digbyana and Laelia purpurata. Mine was made with the werkhauserii variety of purpurata. Looks very much like the photo in the original post.
