I think this should be Cattleya mossiae semialba pincelada. The pincelada refers to the short dash of color at the tips of the ventral sepals, as though a paint brush did a quick stab. It is overall...

The only subtle correction I would make is that is currently considered all Cattleya and not Laeliocattleya.

I got mine from Orchids Limited, but I am sure they did not mericlone the plant so would have gotten a flash from someone, maybe Hausermann’s. However, I suspect that the plant has been mericloned...
