I'm sorry, but there are so many pink cattleya-type hybrids, and enough variation within a single one that you'll never know the true ID of it, based upon appearance.
It obviously has some Rhyncholaelia (formerly Brassavola) digbyana in it though - note the frilly lip.

My guess is that it has Rhyncolaelia digbyana as one parent. Not sure of the other. It might be Bc. Cynthia.

Thank you all!!!
I was sure that someone (Intruder & Nikv in this occasion) will have more specific idea about this plant.
That's why I joined your forum after so many years of reading it and take several cultural tips and info's.
Have a great day!!!

Today I fund an other possibility, unfortunately it is only one picture on the Web in a French book written by Marcel Lecoufle: Rhyncholaeliocattleya Marguerite Fournier registred at the RHS (England) in 1902 and it is Rhyncholaelia digbyana x Cattleya labiata. Here page 32
