Hi Nancy,
I've had a Hawkinsara Red Devil 'Kosaki' for about 4 years now. If you haven't already
looked this up, it is a intergeneric hybrid with parent genera Broughtonia, Cattleya,
Laelia, & Sophronitis. I grow mine in the same cultural environment as my Catts. The
only thing I've noticed is that their leaves tend to be not a tolerant of direct sunlight
and will sunburn. But they still need the bright light to bloom. Mine has bloomed for
3 consectutive years now and the blooms are relatively flat shapped. Here is a current
pic of one of the blooms from late this summer.
