Close, but sorry, that is incorrect. This is a hybrid between 2 species. Unfortunately, barbatum isn’t one of the parents.
We had several interesting orchids presented at our November meeting, like this unnamed Catasetum hybrid between Ctsm. gladiatorum ‘SVO 35’ x Ctsm. semicirculatum ‘The best of the Best’.

C. peckhaviensis - amazing scent
#orchid #orchids #photography #nature #flower #bluesky #houseplants
Yup. There are others from this cross even more vibrant and striking than this one.
That’s why so many people grow miniatures. There are mini-Cattleya for people who don’t have the space for the traditional large Cattleya. There’s also the miniatures like Dendrobium moniliforme, Psygmorchis (Oncidium) pusilla, or Bulbophyllums to name a few.
Isn’t it?
