| Anyone have this in their collection, and tell me when it blooms? Bought this as a baggie seedling years ago, but haven't managed to provide the needed environment for maturation. Pictures online look pretty. |

| I do not know when it flowers but a glance at its pedigree brings up a couple of suspects that might make it need slightly different conditions from the "average cattleya" to make it bloom. I am talking about C. aclandiae and C. esalquena (L. esalqueana). Which might make the plant need a sparse mixture and high light to do its best. Only guessing. |

| Sc. Jungle Flare should read - Lc. Jungle Flare. My best guess is that it could bloom at anytime of the year. Matt |
|
| It certainly could bloom anytime of year because it has multiple "cattleya" ancestors. After the great renaming the Lc. bit is a synonym and its name is plain old Cattleya Jungle Flare. |
|
| The original tag does have Lc. x C. on it, but in researching online I thought I interpreted that the Laelia ancestry had been changed to the Sophro. designation. Calling it just Cattleya adds more confusion to my mucho maligned brain cells. Calgon, take me away! |
