Default Cattleya rec. for mothers day

Hey OB!

I want to grow an orchid or two for the mothers in my life. My mom would really be thrilled, and my wife and I are hopeful for kids in the next couple years so I'd like to get some specimens going for a year-after-year mothers day gift.

I have a collection of bifiate cattleya, which is my thing, but it seems much more appropriate to give my ladies a big beautiful floofy labiate cattleya for mothers day. I would like to include a plant or two into my collection for this purpose, and take the whole plant full of flowers as the gift, and have her bring it back afterwards for me to care for. I I'm excited about the idea of her looking forward to seeing her plant every year.

I'm looking for reccomendations for species or hybrids that put on an impressive display and bloom reliably in mid May.

Here are my thoughts/criteria:

-large flowers
-natural- ish colors (I'm not a big fan of candy stripes etc.)
-digbayana in the lineage would be good.
-floriferous
-nice fragrance would be great
-may bloom time

You get what I mean I think- a stunner for lack of a better word!

Thank you in advance for the suggestions!
