A very complex hybrid, but about as good as any darker lavender Cattleya. It makes very large growths so you need space to grow it. I have one mericlone like yours but another plant from a different mericloning that has smaller growths, pinker, smaller flowers, but better shaped flowers. Genetic drift with the mericloning process. I keep both cultivars.

Beautiful, the flowers look like they’re glowing!
