According to Sander´s List of Orchid Hybrids, managed by the Royal Horticultural Society responsible for the registration of hybrid orchid, there exist more than 10 000 hybrids of orchids registered in the world. In Cuba we have approximately more than three hundred twenty native species and wild orchids and only one Spathoglottis «Bella Lorena» hybrid. This article presents the main characteristics of a new hybrid of epiphytic orchids; obtained at the National Institute of Agricultural Science (INCA), Mayabeque province. Catyclia «Free the Five» is the result of a manual pollination between Cattleya leuddemaniana and Encyclia phoenicia, the hybrid seeds were germinated in vitro and flowering occurs on June 2010, after seven years of planting. Currently it was published in Orchids Review Supplement 119 (1293): March 2011.
