Default Cattleytonia Rosy Jewel 'Vera Stella'
This is an old cross, actually the first cross between a Cattleya and a Broughtonia. After the success of this, many other cattleya species have been crossed with Broughtonia. This one, the large Cattleya bowringiana by the small Broughtonia sanguinea, has generated a relatively small plant that produces a crown of intermediate sized flowers of good shape.

Nice display!

How tall is the plant from pot up, not including the spike?

You bet, Neverend. Both parents are Central American/Caribean plants.
