    Yes but it seems that 'Xint' and 'C.H#7' are var. flamea clones.
    Why "purpnea" and not "purpurata" ?
    Beautiful blooming.

    Good question on the name. I copied it from the tag on the plant which is from a well known grower here in Florida. Perhaps he made a mistake or perrhaps someone else on the forum can shed some light on the issue. But of course an Orchid by any other name........

    I dug a little deeper and although the tag is as I listed there is another reference to this plant as L. Purpurata var Flamea (C.H. #7 x 'Xint')
    Perhaps this provides some clarification. Sorry for the confusion as I am a novice.
