This is supposed to be a C. lueddemanniana, but if I'm being honest it doesn't look like a typical lueddemanniana. The lip is too big and doesn't have that intense yellow coloration. I'm kinda disappointed, however this is the first time this plant has bloomed so maybe next time it will look better. This one just looks too floofy and disproportionate. It's still a beautiful flower… just not what I was expecting. Also, the color on the lip is darker and more purple in person.

Don’t be picky. It’s still glorious.
Probably not a lueddemanniana, but it is very very lovely indeed. Lip is a little too open to be the species.
Yeah, probably not lueddemanniana. It’s got that dowiana veining in the lip, so some advanced hybrid.
