Cattleya or Laelia genus - anyone know? Male
Default Cattleya or Laelia genus - anyone know?

Hi all, I have had this orchid over 30 yrs, a division from the botanical greenhouses at my university. Guessing it is a wildtype as they did not have many hybrids in there, Blooms January, had shiny crystal-like texture on the petals. looks unifoliate, leaves are not that wide, smaller stature than large catts.

Thanks for your help solving this mystery!

Oh, and BTW it has bloomed ONCE for me in 30 years - can't tell you how many times this d*mned plant has evaded the compost pile. It thinks it is one of those 100 year blooming cycle agaves or something.
