I don't think that you can get anything better than Catt hybrid as ID...
But if you were asking because you want to buy it, maybe others can indicate similar orchids.

Hmm, I had no idea it was a Cattleya hybrid.
I was looking for ID so I could buy one too.
However, I would probably settle for something similar if people pitch in with suggestions. Looking for nice colorful scented blooms.

I just bought a gorgeous catt hybrid on ebay but the seller is in France and there is very little information. Catts aren't usually my favourites because I haven't had luck in the past with them but this one is spectacular! The only thing is I have no Idea how big it gets or if it's fragrant. It's BLC Udomrattana x BLC Tainan city. It has similar colours except the petals are creamy orange and it is frilly.

You should look for the Cattleya Star Trek, it's about as flashy. I can't tell for yours, if it was a new hybrid, it may not be available yet or in small quantities.

There's producers specialized in Catts, you should be happy musing there.

There are a lot of great places you can find Catt hybrids in South Florida. What part are you in?

That one is a Schomburgkia of some sort...
Have a look at websites of Catt alliance specialists, like H&R nurseries for instance, or Hausermann Orchids, which have a nice selection of Catts. You may find similar things there.

Doesn't look like a species, nor what is left of Schomburkia, I'd say an hybrid of Myrmechophylla with thomsoniana, brysiana in it. (it may even be intergeneric with Schomburkia)

(beware, there's taxonomists battling in the area

If you can identify who's stall it was on, you should be able to ask...
