@randy,
i got the plant for quite a steal, just at the entrance from the last orchidshow in manila and im not sure if this vendor was involved with the show.

@derek,
thank you soooo much, i came to similar conclusions with the bottom bloom, but the thing is nobody bothers taking pix of those, its usually the whole long spike.
i still have my doubts just like you, seeing the lip and all, even for an underdeveloped bloom the shape is just totally off.

as you said, another wait...grrrr...
