Lc. Tenebrosa?
I bought this seedling two years ago under the name of Rlc Elizabeth Palmer x Goldenzelle and it bloomed for the first time, 9 flowers, but it looks like the Cattleya tenebrosa from what I have seen. I don't know if it will have fragrance .

Looks to me like a very nice aurea-form Cattleya tenebrosa. (or at least has lots of aurea in its background)Certainly not what you were expecting, but it's lovely and is growing really well for you.

Looks like you got a better plant! At least, for me, since I prefer species and love this one in particular! Congrats.

That's a interesting mistake. I might think the seedlings would look quite different. Elizabeth Palmer is shown on the Palmer Web site:
Rth. Elizabeth Palmer 'Palmer Orchids' — Palmer Orchids
Goldenzelle does have long leaves but not as proportionally long as tenebrosa.
Your hybrid is also on the Palmer Web site:
Rth. Elizabeth Palmer x Goldenzelle — Palmer Orchids
I wouldn't think an experienced orchidist would confuse the two plants based on plant morphology. But maybe Palmer received a mislabeled flask. |

Wow! Nice one merita! Looks like they gave you a tenebrosa ----- fully agreeing of the aurea sort. That will teach them for giving the wrong one hehehe. Ended up with such a nice plant there.

Definitely a Tenebrosa Aurea, mine is blooming for the first time right now and it is identical.
If you took a poll 95% of folks would prefer the tenebrosa aurea, it is a special plant. Good growing! Cheers!
