Beautiful NOID

[Psyched]

I fell so much in love when I first saw this hybrid so I took it home. Unfortunately there is no label that comes with it.

Called the seller again, she told me it is a Schomburgkia tibicinis x Cattleya batalinii hybrid. Or is it?

I like to think that it is a Schomburgkia x Laelia hybrid but I couldn't find any match. The flower is about 15cm across and there are 6 - 8 flowers per spike with Schomburgkia arrangement.

Really appreciate if you can help me ID this beautiful orchid.

Thanks, guys. I'm still digging through the web to find any match.

For now, trying to flower this chid again which is going to be a challenge because I have no luck with catt alliance so far.

Finally I manage to get this hybrid reblooms when I put it under full sun. See how the colors change into purple than the 1st pict above.

That's a beautiful bloom!!!! It looks like it's a peloric flower. Could it have C. intermedia var. 'aquini' x Schomburgkia tibicinis. Anything it is; the flower is still beautiful !!!!

I do like the color of the more mature bloom (purple) and the shape of the twisted petals/sepals are very interesting. Beautiful orchid, nice pics.

I think the cross is what your dealer said, probably never registered is the reason you can't find it.
