I looked up the cross in Orchidwiz, having never heard of this generic grouping. It involves four "distinct " genera, namely cattleya, brassavola, Gurianthe ( which used to be cattleya) and - which is the really novel bit - Broughtonia. Of course Broughtonia has been used with Cattleya before - to make cattleytonia - but they went out of fashion for some reason ( short-lived flowers ? ) .
But this is certainly interesting, and worth a buy should it ever come my way... doubtful when the whole world is on lockdown - and will we ever get back to what we used to think was normal ? In my lifetime ? - with me planning my 90th birthday bash ?

Happy Birthday
