I still don't know what it is but I think I found enough information to take a good guess at what it is not. From a video I found of c. lueddemanniana, it is not that. The c. lueddemanniana flowers branch off, one, then a 2nd, and sometimes a 3rd. This one does not branch off. It splits off like a fork into 2 flowers. Although, about 50% of the time just 1 flower, no fork split. When it flowers again this winter I will try to take some detailed close up pictures to post

Well, I may find out. The posted plant is in my parents yard in hot, humid Florida. I live in a colder climate in WA state and brought some up with me to grow indoors. Our Fall, summers and spring are much cooler. Winters are quite cold of course but indoor heating balances that off. Just have to make sure I am providing enough indoor humidity but my other orchids seem to do very well with temp & humidity level, I've had those for years up here. I've been growing the Cattleya indoors up here for about 2 1/2 years now. It's doing quite well but still a small plant. I just got my first sheath so I might see my first flowers this winter with any luck.
