A cross between two desirable colour forms of the compact Brazilian species Cattleya walkeriana. The semi-alba parent contributes white petals and a vivid magenta lip, while the awarded flamea parent brings rich purple veining and flamed colour. Like all C. walkeriana, the flowers have a sweet fragrance.
Grows best in intermediate to warm conditions and high light with good air movement. Water freely during active growth, then reduce significantly in winter as pseudobulbs mature. Best grown mounted on cork or in a very free-draining medium.
