Default Cattleya walkeriana var. semi-alba
The flowers have a fantastic fragrance, but the plant habit is typical walkeriana (a bit of a rambler). I might experiment with the plant after it's finished flowering by attaching it to a mount, where I would guess that its unkempt habit would be less of a source of frustration for me.

ooooooh that's very pretty. I wish I could try a mount but I don't think it would work well in the house.

Gorgeous lip form, so triangular. Nice contrasting colours.

Great one! You could try doing the mount/pot technique that a lot of the Brazilian growers do. Combine the best of both worlds.
