Default Cattleya maxima
From the coloration of the lip and flower shape this is a typical highland form. This plant is easy to grow and holds 9 flowers on one stem.
The flashlight photography doesn't fully mirror true colors. In real life flowers are more rose and red without a blue tone.

They look great in blue though. Still, the form is amazing as is the number of flowers. Congrats.

Looks great! I love how compact the highland variety is as well!
