Default looking for Cattleya recommendations

Hey people,
so I've probably got too many already but I am curious what other Cattleya's my collection is desperately missing

I have yet to discover which of mine bloom multiple times per year, which bloom at a certain time each year or which will bloom consecutively throughout but this got me thinking it's quite hard to find out that information.

One thing I learnt recently from alan koch is that cattleya alaorii apparently flowers 9 times per year.

Using it as a parent passes on this multiple blooming trait off to its offspring.

I was wondering if anyone had compiled a list of Catts that will only flower once a year and maybe some that can flower more per year.
I haven't really come across that information that readily, like if someone made a list for me pointing out which orchids definitely only flower once a year those are possibly varieties I would consider not getting.

But if someone has created an amazing new cross that flowers 9 times a year, that is quite appealing to add.

So I dunno, maybe if someone has a variety that flowers lots more than others in their opinion, I'd love to hear which ones.

Maybe you know which ones only flowers once a year. I know it can depend on the growing conditions and the care but I know there are some no matter how well you care for them they will only flower at one time a year.

Is Cattleya dowiana one of those?

Are all the hybrids better for this reason or do some turn out flops to avoid?

I know some hybrids will only flower once a year but when they do their display is far more impressive because all flowers come out at once so it depends what they have been bred for but I just don't have this information about any of the varieties I realized so a lot more for me to explore there.
