I first bought this plant from Home Depot as a bag orchid (one of those 4" bag babies that Better-Gro has). That was January of 2014. It's finally bloomed for the first time. I have a total of 4 buds on 3 p-bulbs. Probably could have bloomed sooner had I known how much light cattleya orchids require.
Here was the orchid back in 1/24/2014, after it was taken out of the store plastic pot and repotted:
The plant was repotted again in early 2015, and here it is blooming today:

In the shade, the salmon/pink color shows up better:
