It flowered - Cattleya Xmesquitae

Sounds like mosquito.

A natural hybrid between the 2 species of Catts from Section Rhizanthe - Cattleya nobilior and Cattleya walkeriana. Registered in SLOH as Cattleya Brazilian Jewel.

Got this cutting from SK for a token sum during 2 CNY ago. Her division dong dong chianged off though. The initial cutting was in a bad shape with scales and was dehydrated. So happy it flowered.

Didn't realised that it was in bud until I spotted something odd while watering my plants
