[palito]

thanks Tobi and Kmarch for that detailed information !!!!
The tag doesn't say any variety. all i know is that it is seed grown. So I guess I'll have to wait until it blooms to see the color of the lip, (probably just purple). I think it *should* bloom next year.

re: changes. I noticed that in the RHS website, the change of names has been adopted - at least in their database and the hybrids have been updated to reflect the changes as well. I also noticed that Kew has it now as an accepted name and the others are synonyms.

For example i looked up Laeliocattleya Canhamiana and it no longer appears. It is now listed as Sophrocattleya Canhamiana and its parent is now listed as Sophronitis purpurata.

This must be very recent, because I remember looking up that plant maybe two months ago and it was still under its old name. Same thing with others that I checked. And the OrchidWiz database is also updating to the new names.
