Cattleya NOID - Orchid Board

Hello everybody,

I am looking for help to identify an orchid if it is possible.
I've got the plant three years ago; it was labelled "Hawaii. Cattleya. Pink flowers" . The plant blooms first time. The flowers are 7" in diameter and up. Fragrant (light jasmine scent). It reminds me C.gaskelliana or some primary with it.
I will appreciate any comments.

Thanks in advance.

The jasmine scent is very strong today. I am glad it grows outside :-)

I am leaning towards C. gaskelliana as well. It is lovely!

Those two yellow eyes in the lip seem very characteristic of a C. warscewiczii (syn. C. gigas). I could be wrong, but they're also generally a very large flower.
