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 splash-petal orchid is named Laeliocattleya Mari's Song. It is a hybrid of Laeliocattleya Irene Finney and Cattleya Cherry Chip. It was photographed at the Mount Baker Orchid Society Show in Mount Vernon, Washington.

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.
