Nice flowers, congrats!
It doesn´t look like any pure species of a bifoliate Cattleya or Guarianthe to me. From the larger flowers, the dark coloration especially on the lip and the flowering season I guess its a hybrid. There is also a higher number of flowers on the stem. Possible parent from the bifoliate side could be G. bowringiana (rather than C.bicolor), on the other side an Encyclia (atropurpurea?), eventually C.percivaliana or C. trianae var. sangretoro. Also a longer genealogy can be considered.
Do the bulbs show the typical globe of G.bowringiana at their bottom. Bulbs are so long and slender.
Nothing sure, just considerations.
