This is one of the few hybrids I grow and one of the few Cattleyas I grow. It's a hybrid of Laeliocattleya Culminant and the tiny red species, Sophronitis coccinea and due to the renaming of the species in its background would now be known simply as Cattleya Circle of Life. It is a small plant as Cattleyas go, only 25 cm tall with 7-8 cm flowers, two per growth. It blooms faithfully every winter or spring and is one I raised from a very small seedling.

This is the same flower as in the last post, a hybrid of Laeliocattleya Culminant and Sophronitis coccinea. This show the two blooms that are on the plant now and part of the plant as well. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2014/02/sophrolaeliocattleya-circle-of-life.html

I don't grow a lot of hybrid orchids or a lot of plants this large, but this is a faithful bloomer and a compact plant and so I've kept it. It is a hybrid of the large hybrdi, Laeliocattleya Culminant and the tiny red species, Sophronitis coccinea. It is number 10 in my 100x: 2014 project. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2014/02/sophrolaeliocattleya-circle-of-life.html

Was out snowshoeing this morning, and left early, so I didn't get a chance to post anything. This is a small hybrid orchid, a combination of three different genera and it is my eighth post in the 100x 2014 project.

This small orchid hybrid is a combination of three genera, Sophronitis, Laelia and Cattleya. It is in bloom now but the photo was taken last year. All three genera have recently been reclassified as Cattleya, so this can also be found under the name Cattleya Minibeau.

This is Sophrolaeliocattleya Precious Stones crossed with Laeliocattleya Mini Purple. It's a very small plant with large flowers. The name is larger than the flower, however.

This is a hybrid of Sophrolaelia Minipet and Sophrocattleya Beaufort. It is a seedling blooming for the first time.

Sophrolaeliocattleya Dream Catcher is a mini-cattleya that blooms on every new growth and always produces two large flowers per growth. It is a hybrid of Sophrocattleya Beautfort and Sophrolaeliocattleya Bright Angel, all big names for describing a small and charming plant. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/11/sophrolaeliocattl...

Here's another shot of Slc. or C. (for Cattleya) Circle of Life. It actually has another flower spike developing with two more flowers. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2012/12/sophrolaeliocattl...

"Slc." stand for Sophrolaeliocattleya, which means that this is cross of three genera, Sophronitis, Laelia and Cattleya, Sophronitis coccinea, a species and the hybrid Laeliocattleya Pixie Gold, only now all the parents have been lumped under Cattleya so that this is simply Cattleya Seagulls Little Doll. The photo is an old one, however, and I no longer have the plant.
