RHH has posted:

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.

Sophronitis acuensis is from Brazil, as are all the species in the genus Sophronitis. It has recently beeen reclassified as Cattleya acuensis, but by any name is colorful and desirable. Its flowers are slightly smaller than the better known Sophronitis coccinea and the plant is much smaller, the individual growths only 4 cm tall, smaller than the 5 cm flowers.

This is Barkeria shoemakeri crossed with Barkeria naevosa. I no longer grow these. I have neither the room nor climate for them. This is an old scanned slide from our years in Houston where they grew like weeds.
