VeEERRRRY interesting. I don't know what it is , but beautiful.
The leaves certainly look like an orchid, but little old me has never seen an orchid with stamens like this before. I eagerly await input from others more knowledgeable Than me.

Eria ornata

Tom is right. Some of our local E ornata have bright orange-red bracts that are very eye-catching but the flowers are small and unattractive and do not fully open.

8 years into the hobby and even after so much serious reading, orchids continue to fascinate me with their amazing diversity of forms ! I had never known that an orchid could have such beautiful bracts ! Nice one Shane, make sure you give this beauty all care you can.

I should have followed my own advice "if you don't know what you're talking about, say nothing" Lol.

Thankful to learn about this Orchid.

50 years into orchids and I'm still learning.....

I think our whole life we will keep learning something new about orchids without loosing the fascination, isn't it a very bright prospect ?
