I'm new here! But, what's this cattelya??

[violanna]

Hi guys,

I'm new here but I've been lurking for a few months now. I'm on my annual trip back home to Japan and I'm finding all of these wonderful orchids and they're SO inexpensive that even if I can't bring them home, I keep buying them for my family here.
One of the orchids I picked up at the local market is a magenta, noID cattelya with a wonderful chai tea-like fragrance. It's very compact and I'd love to have one for myself back in the states. Anyone know what it could be?
I've tried to attach some photos for reference. I hope they're helpful.

Thank you!

I can see why you love it.

It was only 200 yen, which is around $1.75 or so. I can't get over how great the prices are here too.

I'm unable to see the picture.

where in Japan do you find these prices?

I'd be happy to attempt a general identification (a definite identification of a hybrid from a picture isn't realistic) but I also can't see the pictures.

The flower is very similar in shape to Lc Mini Purple 'Dogashima' AM/AOS, but the lip is colored differently.
