    Question Can anyone identify this orchid beauty?

    I bought this orchid here in Thailand in Feb. when it was flowering. It has just bloomed again and is striking in it's coloration (seems the red was hand painted !). Unfortunately the seller did not know this species. The flower is about 2.5 inches in diameter and it is waxy/shiny. Please, can anyone identify it ? Thanks, Michael

    Very nice substance. I'm skeptical as to the likelihood of it being a species -- most likely a hybrid.

    Yes, I also suspect that. It resembles a "Baby Cattleya". Thanks for your reply! Was peanut a pet snake?
