Epicattleya?
Hello group, trying to identify this orchid, I have had it for 4 years and every year blooms around Christmas, it just opened this flowers on Christmas. The tag says Epicattleya Hatillo Pinta but when I did some research found out that it was labeled wrong. Does anyone know the name of this orchid?
For the first time it has four spikes....love it.
Thank you for your help!!!

If you know the nursery or seller it came from, try emailing them the photo and ask if they recognize it as one of their other plants.

Well, it definitely is not Catcylia (Epc.) El Hatillo 'Pinta'. As with most NoID hybrids all we can really do is speculate.
Ray's suggestion of Jkf. (Iana.) Appleblossom is a good one, definitely the right type with Caularthron and (true) Laelia background, and a very commonly seen and extremely variable cross. Hard to rule it out, but there are a few things about the flower that don't look quite right to me.
Appleblossom usually has more pastel blended colors or more yellow than this, not the strong near white/purple contrast seen here. The flower seems to have C. intermedia characteristics but doesn't really show the Gur. (C.) aurantiaca influence usually seen in Appleblossom. It might have Appleblossom as one parent, or it might have Appleblossom's parent Cll. Snowflake as a parent, but maybe not quite right for Appleblossom itself. Other than Appleblossom and Snowflake it is hard to find pictures for comparison.

I don't know what it is, but I agree it's spectacular.
