Help identifying a purple cattleya

[Kartxofa]

Hi! I found this beautiful cattleya that smelled wonderful and I had to buy it. Can anybody please identify it?

Thank you!

That is a beautiful color! I don’t think you will be able to get a definite I.D. on this pretty hybrid, once a NoID always a NoID and all that. However, I would be willing to bet that it has either some Cattleya walkeriana or C. nobilior in its background based on the shape of that nose (not sure if that’s called the column or anther cap?). You can just follow the general care instructions for a Cattleya though with no issue

Thank you for your reply! Yeah, I feared as much but I had to try hehe I agree with you that because of the shape of the anther cap (or whatever that’s called) it looks like it could come from the walkeriana. Well, maybe I could try emailing the orchid nursery. In their website they only say the have cattleyas but I could try to find out. By the way, you have an amazing instagram
