Laelia sincorana, now reclassified as Cattleya sincorana is one of the smaller species in either Laelia or Cattleya and a real jewel. It is from Brazil and blooms here in the spring. The round pseudobulbs with their leaves are 10 cm tall and the flowers the same size or a bit larger. The flower spikes emerge from within the leaves just as the leaves begin to unfold and the flowers are usually born singly, though occasionally I get two flowers from a flower spike.

Now reclassified as Cattleya sincorana, this lovely miniature orchid species is from Brazil. Another example of the same species is shown below. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/02/laelia-sincorana....
