    The nice round pseudobulb and straight spike reminds me of Encyclia randii but the leaves look too plump and the color isn't quite right. If you don't get a good answer post it again when it is in bloom.

    I'm guessing maybe one of the smaller antelope-type Dendrobium species like carronii.

    This have to be much better clue. I am sure I did some photos of: Dendrobium canaliculatum and indeed it had similar habit as well.

    I'm not seeing Dendrobium in that, the buds aren't showing a mentum.

    :) OK, annabanana, now you HAVE to post a photo when it blooms. Too many of us are wondering what it is. :D

    I will! I did call the guy that sold it and told me to email him the pic of the flower. It wasn't his plants he sold slipper orchids. His buddy asked him to sell them. That's why im guessing the tag got lost

    Anna, I hope you don't mind but I added the plant name to the title so it could be found in a search. Your plant photos are so good that they could help someone in an ID effort.
