ashley:
These Sophronitis (now Cattleya) are hardly relevant to rock gardening in temperate climes, but grow on moss-covered rocks and trees at altitude in SE Brazil.

Apart from their intense colour, the tepals of S. mantiqueirae have a lovely crystalline quality rather like Nerine sarniensis that I find hard to photograph. 
In any case they brighten up dull winter weather here.
