This beautiful zygo-type SEEMS, from research I've done, to be a hybrid - whether a species hybrid or not, I don't know - from a German nursery. That nursery identifies it only as "Zygopetalum 'Rhein Moonlight' Patented". I can't contact them directly because I'm not a wholesaler, so I've yet to nail this thing down. Research I've read says it hasn't appeared in the RHS Registry yet, but that may be out of date. I saw a thread on this very plant in this very forum, but it provided no more info than I have, so.... Watchin' the (orchid) detectives (again) .... Sorry, Elvis C. - couldn't help myself.

Here are two shots of the plant:
