Default A forgotten cattleya


Dear All;
This is a picture of a big cattleya that I have since 3 years. I received it from a friend wich have received it from an other friend .... but without identification. It flowered regularly in August. It seems to me that maybe it a laeliocattleya made from laelia (cattleya now) purpurata x cattleya mossiae. If my assumptions are right it is a laeliocattleya amazone or williamsonii registered at the beginning the 1900. Currently we can see pictures of the hybrid obtained from de coerulea forms of the parents, there are laeliocattleya canhamiana. What do you think of my suspicions?
