description_en: Trigeneric hybrid genus of evergreen orchids derived from crosses between Sophronitis, Laelia, and Cattleya. They are vegetatively similar to laeliocattleyas and brassolaeliocattleyas, and all are loosely referred to as cattleyas. The spindle-shaped or elongated pseudo-bulbs support 1 or 2 semi-rigid, elliptic leaves, to 15cm (6in) long. Flowers 10cm (4in) across, in a range of rich colours from vibrant reds to fiery oranges and yellows, are borne singly or in racemes of up to 6 blooms; they are produced from the bases of the pseudo-bulbs at any time of year.

hardiness_en: Frost tender.

propagation_en: Divide when the plant "overflows" the container. Remove backbulbs and pot them up separately.

pests_en: Scale insects, red spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs may be troublesome.
