Blooming NOID - Orchid Board

This is a picture of one of my NOID orchids that is blooming right now, I have no idea what it is but thought it was a Cattleya hybrid before it bloomed, now I am not so sure. There are two leaves on each pseudobulb. Blossom is about 1 ½ inches across. I have three pots of these things, only two have buds, and only this one is blooming so far.

Would anybody hazard a guess to what it might be?

Thanks,

Cecil

Looks like a Cattleytonia 'Why Not' (may have been reclassified?)

See attached images of my former plant.

That's my first impression, too.

I agree with the others. It's very nice!

Thanks much to all.

Now I know what to look for as far as taking care of it.

I looked it up and found that the Cattleytonia Why Not has been reclassified and is now Guariitonia Why Not.

Regardless of the name. it is beautiful.
