I just heard from a friend in the local orchid club that my recent posted bloomer has a name. The latest is that C. gaskelliana x C. purpurata is in fact Cattleya C. G. Roebling. Note that our old standby, Laelia purpurata, is now Cattleya purpurata which is what was throwing off my search. In my old school mind, C. gaskelliana X L. purpurata should be Lc. C.G. Roebling but I shall climb off of the soapbox and go sit down. Therefore, I hereby present Cattleya C.G. Roebling:
