BLC Lily Marie Almas &quot;Sun Bulb&quot; Looking Awfully Strange
Default BLC Lily Marie Almas "Sun Bulb" Looking Awfully Strange

All:

I've had this plant for almost two years. It has bloomed twice for me. The first bloom cycle was decent and since that time, the plant has limped along ever since. This past spring, I repotted it into a very chunky mix using Orchiata and large perilite. I water every week and fertilize every other watering during the warmer time of the year. Over the winter, I water every two weeks and fertilize weakly once per month. Day time temps are 70ish and nighttime temps are 55ish. My lights are one for 12 hours per day. A fan runs constantly in my grow room. The humidity is kept at 50-60%. I use rainwater and MSU orchid fertilizer for rainwater.

As you can see from the pics, the plant is currently in bloom, but it's a marginal performance at best. The plant is very odd looking and seems to be getting worse albeit it's a slow progression. It does appear to be developing new roots at this time.

Is this Chlorosis?

Is this a virus?

Should I try mounting this particular Cattleya?

Any advice would be appreciated.

First pic is first bloom. Second pic is second bloom. The rest of the pics are it's current condition.
