Accidentally sent the same photo twice but should have attached this flower closeup.

After blooming for a week the flowers got larger (now almost 6”) reoriented upwards (the bottom flower faces horizontal and the top flower faces up), and the flowers are now lightly fragrant in the morning.
Thanks! Now I know what I am growing.
In a May 2014 field trip, with other members of the Kaimuki Orchid Society, I saw an amazing blooming specimen hanging from the roof of a commercial greenhouse in Waianae. The greenhouse owner (presumably Masa Chen)told me it was a C. walkeriana hybrid, bloomed every Mother’s Day, and sold me a 2 or 3 bareroot pseudobulbs without a nametag.
I’m attaching a picture of my plant in full bloom in mid-May. I’m also attaching an internet picture of a specimen-size plant in a windward Oahu nursery.
