Name: Rhyncattleanthe Chelsea Popkin

Parents: Rhyncholaeliocattleya Haw Yuan Gold × Rhyncattleanthe Hsinying Catherine

Location/Cultural conditions: Very bright, filtered light, good air movement, and a coarse, fast-drying substrate are ideal. Water and fertilize lightly on a regular basis during active growth; allow to almost dry out between waterings. Temperatures of about 18–29 °C are suitable, with the nights being a few degrees cooler.

Description and notes: This grex combines two modern Cattleya alliance hybrids. The plants form robust pseudobulbs and can produce striking, round-shaped flowers with an intense base color and a contrasting lip. With seedlings, differences in color and patterning are to be expected. Plenty of light promotes compact growth and reliable flowering.
