    This is an unusual hybrid? I searched Google and I haven't found anyone else with this orchid. It is an interesting hybrid. I am assuming it is an Ascocentrum x Arachnis hybrid? Please tell me more about this plant. It is lovely.

    Did further look and I found cattan had posted pictures in 2012 and in 2010.

    Yes it is. It is V.Mona Church (V.miniata x V.ampullacea) x Arachnis hookeriana. Blooms a once a year for me in peak summer with multiple spikes

    A very lovely hybrid. Flowers are small but quite free flowering here, 3 - 4 times a year for me, though I haven't given it the attention it deserves.
