I wonder where I can find it

I think White Oak Orchids in California may have it: although the plant I saw was labelled Catasetum Rebecca Northern grapefruit pink. Not sure it is the same as it didn't flower yet when I saw it. The spikes had a similar habit though.

I'm still trying to replace mine which I sadly killed

I picked up a couple in January from Featherstone Orchids. They're located north of Tampa in Dunnellon and attend all the local shows. Give them a call.

I got my plant as a small division from friend of mine and now, two years later, the plant blooms for the first time.
Flowers are beautifully fragrant.

One of mine just put out another set of blooms. I'll have to take a look at them, because I think the flowers are more uniformly pink. I like how yours are more so on the tips.

Yours looks beautiful. Not to hijack your thread, but any idea why mine is just sitting there this year? Bloomed last year, similar culture...could it be the strange temps or something like that?

That's a very impressive display on what looks like a fairly small plant. I will have to keep an eye out for one if I can meet the cultural requirements. Thanks for sharing.
