First blooming Cattleya aclandiae v. alba

I got this as a bonus plant from a species Cattleya order from SVO last fall. Definitely a keeper, I'm keeping it in sub par conditions but it still blooms for me. I was worried that this plant would be beyond my growing conditions.

Daytime temps: 70-75F
Nighttime temps: 60-65F
Humidty avg: 50%

Beautiful! What makes you think it's in sub-par conditions?

Every care guide you read says it needs high temps and high humidity.

High humidity, yes. They’re found in higher elevations though, so intermediate temps are ok!

smells like gardenia and jasmine with some sort of strong citrus type fruit background. really strong in the morning and fades in the afternoon.
