Brassocattleya Springtide is((Brassavola digbyana x Cattleya warscewiczii) x
Cattleya mossiae). Digbyana is white to green with frills, warscewiczii is
pink, mossiae also pink.
Laeliocattleya Springtide is a mix of L. purpurata(white with dark purple
lip), and the Cattleyas dowiana(white to yellow with a huge, frilled purple
and brown lip), warneri(pink), warscewiczii(pink), lueddemanniana(pink),
bicolor(green to brown with a pink lip) and eldorado(white to pink with a
pink and yellow lip). It has a lot of dowiana and warscewczii in it.
Someone with Wildcatt can tell you the exact proportions. (Sue?)

One of my orchids, the tag only identifies it as 'Spring Tide', has
nice upright growth, divides freely, and blooms reliably. Don't have
a clue as to the parentage, none of the searches have netted anything.
I've assumed Cattleya something. It is monofoliate, blooms twice a
year, spring and autumn, the blooms are sort dusty pink color (mauve
sounds more sophisticated). Will post pics when it blooms this time.
If anyone has any info I'd appreciate it.
