I don't think anyone will be able to tell you what exact type they are but I can tell you that yes, they are all Cattleya Alliance 'chids; the first two clearly having B. digbyana in their parentage (hence the frilled lip, slightly starry lateral sepals, and scent), and the last having B. nodosa in it's parentage (hence the starry shape, and scent). I'd venture to say they're all Blc 's
Hope this was of any help!

Lovely Flowers. can anyone tell me how long a cattleya flower lasts. My Purple fantasy has just flowered, my first cattleya flower, it is a lovely colour and has a beautiful scent. It is a miniature.
Thanks for any info.

The length of time they are in bloom will vary due to parentage, weather, etc. so I would'nt be able to tell you for sure, but as a general average; probably about 2weeks would be a good medium. I had one of my Blc's last only a week, but my B. nodosa has been going strong into her third week. It all variable.
Hope this was of any help!

Thank you, at least now I have a rough idea. I have 6 more that should flower soon. I hope they are as pretty and all smell nice. My favourite orchids are the phaleanopsis, I have about 20 so we always seem to have something in flower all year. My last one to flower , lasted 4 months. it was beautifull.
