Please help me identify this orchid!
 
I would be so appreciative if you could help me identify this orchid species. I believe it's a Cattleya, but haven't had any luck in finding the specific species. It may be a hybrid... ? Thank you!

I am under no circumstances a expert on the cattleya alliance even thought they contain about 70% of my collection. This is probably not right but it looks like it could be a Brassolaeliocattleya (Blc.) Yen 24 Carat x Oconee x Wachant.

It's not a species, but a hybrid and impossible to identify accurately. There are thousands of hybrids and endless variation within a cross. If you use a name like the one above make sure that you never allow the plant to be judged or shown with that name because there is no way of assuring that it is correct.

Definitely a Cattleya hybrid of some kind, with hundreds of variable crosses too similar to ever be sure of an identification. You'll have to enjoy it as a NoID.

Thanks for the help! I'll enjoy it just the way it is, just glad to know for sure it's a hybrid.
