Default Cattleya Heathii var. albescens
This is an artificial primary cross between Cattleya loddigesii and Cattleya walkeriana, often found out there labeled as Cattleya x dolosa, a name that should only be used for the natural occurring hybrid, not for the man made.
In this fine flower, only the central lobe of the lip has a very subtle pink, the rest of the flower being white, hence albescens (whitish)!
