Spotted Cattleya
I became interested in these about a year ago, and have obtained a few. I currently have two in bloom:
One is a meristem: BLC Waianee Leopard 'Ching Hua' (received by chance in a Carmela Orchids package deal).
The other a first bloom seedling = LC Jungle Elf 'Cheryl Lynn' x C. Caudabec 'Marty's Orchids'. This one was ordered from SVO as a seedling in a 3" pot. Pattern of spots is interesting in this flower, and the lip is gorgeous.
Finally, my co-tenant just happened to have Penny Kuroda 'Spots' in bloom, which is a parent of C. Caudabec.

@RJSquirrel
Thanks for those words. I grew up in an orchid nursery, so I imprinted on orchids at an early age. And, sharing a greenhouse with a Cattleya specialist has gotten me to broaden the scope of my collection over the last two years.
With orchid experience going back some 45 years, and knowing where to go for top quality plants in each genus, I have a pretty decent collection at this point.

Very, very pretty!!
I have a Stono River x aclandiae that is blooming right now and it would fit right in w/your spot addiction. Plus, it's extremely fragrant! My orchids are outside right now and the fragrance is so strong I can smell it from several feet away. It can be smelled looooong before it's seen.
