NOID Laelia/Cattleya orchid
I experimented for three years to re-bloom my favorite NOID orchid. Now she is in full bloom again...Any info would be very much appreciated!

It is definitely a Cattleya hybrid, probably including Laelia too. The leaves are bifoliate, i would guess there's probably C. aurantiaca in the background.
You may never get a positive ID unfortunately due to the complexity of hybrids. But that shouldn't stop you from enjoying it!

Thank you all for your responses!
Dorothy- yes it is fragrant, has a delicate sweet scent.
Judi- that’s a good idea...I may call it Juli from now...
