Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plants: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Comments: A warm to hot growing species with brilliantly colored flowers used in breeding to contribute to bright colors in the reds to yellows. A worthy addition to any collection, the heads of up to 15 bright flowers is a sure attention getter. This species is purported to be the smallest of the cattleyas, but C. luteola definitely rivals, if not beats it in that respect.
Pod parent plant: A nice, relatively large-flowered orange form of this Central American species. A result of the selfing of the cultivar 'Kumquat'. Medium-sized plant.

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.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
In Nicaragua, plants grow on trees in dry hilly pastures and in roadside
forests. Near Matagalpa and Managua they have been found at 1950-3300 ft.
(600-1000 m). In Mexico, plants grow on trees on protected hillsides and
in stream-valleys at 1000-3600 ft. (300-1100 m) on Pacific-facing slopes.
The habitat extends from the State of Sinaloa southward to the border with
Guatemala. Plants are also reported on the Revillagigedo Islands, which
are located about 450 mi. (725 km) off the coast of the State of Colima.
