Welcome Lorli, looks like a schomburgkia. If so, then a lot of light, almost to leaves become more yellowish in color, they grow on fence post in nature. I've had several different species when living on the Texas Gulf Coast, they are tough and I remember ants lived in them. The bloom spike was often in Aug and several feet long. I can't remember if these are now included in Cattleya?
