Cattleya Identification Help Needed

Walkerinter (walkeriana x intermedia) but that is just the simplest representative of the type. There are many other hybrids of similar appearance. How big are the flowers?

Awesome, thanks for the information. I realize in hindsight it would have been helpful to include a picture of the plant. The flowers are about the size of a lemon

That's within the normal size range for a C. Walkerinter type hybrid, but over 1000 registered hybrids share that ancestry, just to start. Doesn't narrow it down much.
