This is a plant from the Sonoma collection. Last fall I removed a lead and it has now bloomed. The rest of the plant is in a pot with rocks hoping that it will sprout.
The whole plant had scale which was cleaned off. The plant shows quite a lot of damage, more than can be seen on the plant picture. The newest growth looks fine. In two years at a minimum I can remove a good looking division.
This cross was registered in 1975 by Sea God Nursery and is Cattleya Henrietta Japhet x Dubiosa.

That's nice. What are the main species in there?
According to the RHS:
Dubiosa = harrisoniana x trianae
Henrietta Japhet = Eucharis x loddigesii
Eucharis = Cowaniae x mossiae
Cowaniae = Intertexta x mossiae
That's as far as I'm willing to go. These are all old crosses, Dubiosa being registered in 1897.
It's easy to see the loddigesii/harrisoniana.
