    I'm quite sure Hoa's correct - it doesn't look enough like the species, but it is close. Unfortunately, there are 330 digbyana crosses. Blc. Rio's Green Magic might be close, but it's hard to say for certain.

    I actually have the species which is just about to bloom and the leaves are quite different. I only get one bloom on the species and there are two per sheath on this particular plant. This plant's leaves are very shiny and some what whimpy as where the species is thick with no shine at all.

    I've had a couple of digbyanas and their lip is hairy. This certainly has the influence, but it's not hairy. And as you say, the leaves are matte.

    This is SW Florida everyone has an orchid in their back yard and if you are lucky they have several dead ones in baskets hanging in a tree that they want to give to you just to get them gone. There are several people that divide their orchids and sell them at their annual yard sales for $5, and then there are the people that have a collection and the have decided to move north to be near the kids, so they sell out at wonderful prices. Then you have to find a place for everyone !!!
