Laelonia is what you get if you cross Laelia with Broughtonia. In this case we have L. crawshayana x Bro negrilensis which is registered as Dave's Dapper Dandee.
The flower stem is almost three feet. The quality of the picture below is not too good but it gives you an idea of the dimensions.
Wow! That's really cool Arne! Pretty!
Aren’t both species considered to be cattleyas now?
Wow, Arne! Fantastic!
Cheers,

No, L crawshayana (with an x preceding its species name) is considered a natural hybrid between albida and anceps and Broughtonia is still its own genus.
