» sdiegoorchidboy - Does anyone happen to know the name of this orchid?

I received a cutting of a cattleya from a friend a few years back and it has recently bloomed for the first time. My source did not provide a identity tag and I cannot find a formal name for it. The flowers white and semi-alba, approximately 3.5 to 4.0 inches in diameter in a cluster of three. The petals are semi-ruffled as is the lip which is purple with a yellow center. The leaves and pseudobulbs are large and lighter green in color than most of my other cats. I will gladly send a photo to anyone interested in helping me identify this little gem. I recently crossed it with another plant and it would be helpful to know its name if I am successful at propagation. Thanks-

Hey SanDiegoOrchidBoy! I sure hope somebody can help you identify your orchid cutting. It sounds quite lovely. I personally have no clue.

I hope you dont mind I changed the title to the thread to help more people know it is about orchids and you need help to find out the name of your orchid.
