You're a little further north than Taiwan. Your plant probably came from Jumbo.

This is about the time of year that these plants would start initiating. However, this is not yet...

Hi Andre.

Post a photo of your plant. It sounds like it's just too young/small to bloom yet. 6" is a bit small … it's not a miniature or near mini plant. You probably have the type plant of the...

It might even be a clone of Den Norman...

Looks like Ctna. = Cattleytona. Looks very similar to Ctna Why Not (C aurantiaca x Bro sanguine). But not very much yellow in it's lip.

Spike is proportionately too short for straight Broughtonia.

The flower seems to be C gaskelliana v coerulea. Bluish lip & probably very light blue tinge in petals & sepals. Tubular lip with yellow throat.

The typical C gaskelliana is lavender/pink.

Good growing.

The first photo I would guess to be a C walkeriana tipo x semi-alba 'Puanani'

From the second photo, I would guess the cross is C. violacea 'Aki' x C violacea 'Miriam Rosa'
