They changed one of the species around causing an intergenric name change and I can not think of it at the moment. (EDIT: might now be an Odontioda) It used to be called Colmanara Wildcat. Yours looks like the 'Carmela' clone

Colmanara Wildcat is an intergeneric hybrid between two other hybrids; Odontonia (Miltonia x Odontoglossum) and Odontocidium (Oncidium x Odontoglossum).

Wildcat is now properly classified as Odontocidium--the Miltonia ancestor was moved to Oncidium so both parents of Wildcat are now Odontocidium, therefore Wildcat is also. It's ironic that the best known "Colmanara" is no longer a Colmanara! LOL

This year's version - the main inflorescence is 125 cm (50") long and organized a bit better:

It is one of the Wildcat clones. Rob's right, it used to be Colmanara, but now it's Ondonticidium Wildcat.

It was verrrrrry popular a few years ago and still is popular. That's an amazing bloom for the size of the plant.
