Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). It appreciates bright light and lots of water and fertilizer during the growing season.
Comments: Normally flowering in the fall, this growth set a single flower in the spring.
Parent plant: 'John Jensen' was obtained from Selby Gardens. Normally there are 2 - 3 flowers per spike on this somewhat more purple-flowered form of this species.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Northeast Brazil. Cattleya labiata was originally
described from a plant said to have originated in the Organ Mountains,
which are just north of Rio de Janeiro. This species has never again been
found in that area, however, and it is quite probable that the habitat
location given to Dr. Lindley was erroneous or deliberately misleading.
Plants are found in mountain forests in the states of Cearaá Paráiba,
Pernambuco, Alagoas, and Piauí at 1650-3300 ft. (500-1000 m). They are
found in inland areas starting 31-93 mi. (50-150 km) from the coast and
extend as far inland as 186-249 mi. (300-400 km). Within this region,
plants are found in 3 different types of habitat, including a seasonal
tropical rainforest zone near the coast, a tropical deciduous forest zone
which is further inland, and a thornbush scrub zone which is very far
inland. Plants normally grow in bright conditions near the tops of old
trees where they are found on the vertical trunks or the semivertical
branches. However, they are occasionally found growing lithophytically
either in shade or in sun. Plants are usually protected from the full sun,
but not always. When they are in full sun, the leaves and pseudobulbs
develop a protective reddish-brown color, and the reddish-rose flowers are
more intensively colored.
For many years, Cattleya labiata has been reported from the states of
Bahia and Minas Gerais. Although concerted efforts have been made to find
this species in these states, especially in northern Bahia, no plants have
been found. However, populations of the very closely related Cattleya
warneri are found in southern Bahia. Because the differences between the 2
species are so slight, Cattleya warneri T. Moore has probably been
erroneously reported as Cattleya labiata over the years by dealers,
collectors, and visitors to the habitat.
