    Hai, I sincerely hope that someone in the forum will help me to identify this plant, I think this is a hybrid, could be inter-generic hybrid. Thanks!

    Kyoguchi is C. aurantiaca x Epi. aromaticum and has a cattleya growth habit.
    The other cross (B. nodosa x Bc Star Ruby) has a larger flower.
    It's growth habit is typical for a B. nodosa and the flowers and the arrangement reminds me of Epi. stamfordianum but it may also have some Encyclia on it. Can't narrow it down any more, sorry. Perhaps some other member can follow this lead.

    The lip on this orchid is very unique.

    Spent some time googling encyclia and epidendrum. I think what it reminded me of was encyclia polybulbum, which it's obviously not, because polybulbum is tiny and this orchid appears to be very large. I wonder if it could have brassavola in its background. The leaves are very thick and narrow.

    So I tried googling brassavola and found Brassavola nodosa x BC star ruby - Orchidées, Artisteries, et diverses lubies which is B nodosa by bc star ruby. This is the closest I could find. Perhaps it will remind someone else of other possibilities.

    I would lean toward Brassavola X Encyclia, although nothing I have seen before. Flower form and vegetation suggest Brassavola, flower count suggests Encyclia.

    I agree with you Michael. I searched but I can't find.
    Beautiful bloom.
