It's good to see these old hybrids still in collections. Where did you get this from?

It was purchased from Chadwick & son orchids and I have quite a few older hybrids.

With purpurata (< 2 % of this hybrid) now Cattleya I think you need to change the label to Cattleya Nelly Corradi! With purpurata used so frequently in Cattleya hybridizing there are many older hybrids with a name change.

The RHS maintains the official registry of all orchid hybrids:

Orchidroots is another excellent resource that presents the RHS data in a more user friendly way with lots of crowdsourced photos:

I use OrchidRoots. A great resource that always seems closely linked to RHS data. Very nice to seeing progeny of plants if you register (free).
