You were right about the "B", except the taxonomists took it a step
further,
as it's now Rhyncholaeliocattleya Willis Harrington, and was registered by
Stuart Low in 1937.
Being that old of a cross, your best bet might be to find an "in" with the
park folks.
A Google search turned up that it is featured in the "Ambient Orchids"
DVD,
so you might contact the author and see where the pic came from.
Likewise,
a search using brassocattleya turned up (among others) a posting on flickr
2
days ago.
Google is your friend!
