Laelia purpurata var. schusteriana
No doubt this a wonderful lip!
This has been treated as a separate variety here in Brazil, but I really can't agree. The only difference between this and the variety roxo-violeta is the size of the lip. To me, creating a new variety based only upon the size of the lip is to push things a little, but that's the way things are for now. For me, the correct name would be Laelia purpurata var. roxo-violeta, like so many other of this color.
Anyway, none of this makes it less beautiful than it is!

I also have one of these like you Mauro - I got it at Santa Barbara Orchid Estates last July during the summer show. I haven't ever seen the variety you call "roxo-violeta" here in the USA, though the shusteriana name is used frequently. Perhaps I haven't yet come across a roxo-violeta" here yet. I often wonder if we aren't using a different name simply because so many Americans are monolingual that they become confused by terms, even in similar languages like Portuguese, French or Spanish. Nevertheless, it is certainly a beautiful flower - my favorite among the L. purpuratas. Thanks for sharing yours!

Nice shots, Mauro! Just to clarify, the upper flowers are also known as Ardosio and the lower as roxo-violeta.
I agree, Jan, the upper flowers are more of a slate blue - "Ardosio" is much more descriptive.
These are first bloom seedlings from Miranda Orchids:
