    Default Wrong Orchid Identification

    In March this year I bought from a reputable Colombian orchids grower a few orchids: among other orchids, I bought Restrepia elegans, which was previously shown that this is not what the tag says.
    Now I have another one in bloom, the tag says it is Lepantes felis. I think this is some kind of Platyistele species. Any idea?
    I bought quite a few other orchids from them and who knows what kind of surprises are waiting for me. I am very angry because of this!
