Help to identify this Cattleya

[Orquidia]

I bought this Cattleya with a missing tag and the flower almost at the end of the life. Is large about 6 inches, color yellow with the lip in purple, was in bloom in Feb.

Any idea what is the name? Here is a pic.

Thanks

Impossible to identify with certainty. It's a Noid.

Thanks for trying, since to be you have a lot knowledge, I can see that you able to identify in others ocassion. I guess will remain as a NOID.

Species can be identified, but hybrids are so variable and there are so many of them that correct identification is impossible and attaching a name to them because a person thinks it looks like a certain hybrid is irresponsible.

Beautiful flower, there are so many great cattleyas, they are my favorite, with such showy blooms. Enjoy!

Fully back the statement about being irresponible to attach a name to something thats not 100% that plant.

However, I do think you could do your own investigating and come up with your own set of determinants and I will help you in that direction. It looks to me very much like a Blc. Chunyeah. Look that up, look up the hybrids that comprise it and hybrids using that as a parent and Im certain you could find somewhere to settle.
