Cattleya Brabantiae?
It looks like a schilleriana to me. Very nice picture and looks like a well
grown plant to offer up these 2 fine flowers.

Got this several years ago as a run-down, scrawny backbulb div from a
plant at the local conservatory where I repot. It has finally bloomed
and I have been eagerly anticipating a lovely pink flower, like all the
other brabantiaes I have seen or seen pics of. Imagine my extreme
disappointment when this bronze-ish flower opened after the years of
babying the plant and giving it precious space in the high-light area.
However, the lip is outstanding (second pic). No fragrance I can detect
as yet.
Anyone know if brabantiae opens pale and 'pinks up' later? I'm beginning
to think the original plant was mislabelled at the conservatory.
