Cattleya guttata

If you love speckled flowers, this is one to add to the collection. The green petals and sepals are full of tiny red/brown speckles, spreading gradually more dense toward the edges. The lip is white and purple, accenting the petals and sepals beautifully, harboring a scent that is mildly sweet and floral. They bloom in late Summer and early Autumn from a dried sheath.
