    Beautiful cattleya, I see some influence from cattleya intermedia in its heritage. Remember that it’s always important to have plant’s name tag with its name for reference.
    Back bulbs are a bit dried up and shriveling, this indicates they need more consistent watering, also when those big chunks of bark are completely dry they are not easy to hydrate. They will require a soak in a bucket maybe halfway up the pot for 15-20 minutes and then you can feel the difference in weight of the pot with soaked bark. Use that weight as a reference for when the plant is dry and gauge its need for more water. Understanding the cattleya wet / dry cycle is key to great plants.
