Cattleya aurantiaca 'SVO 4N' x Laelia angereri 'Peter T.' bloomed in my orchid tank

Only 6 months since last blooming and here it is again. My aurantiaca x angereri cattleya flowers again.
I grew this plant from small seedling that came from Cloud's and kind of proud that could bloom it all by myself.
Strange that this cross is not registered yet, I have it for 4-5 years already.
Really like this plant.
