Default Can anyone ID my Catasetum?

I bought this within a rack listed all ID in 1 tag. I remembered there was a name Pileatum jumbo Gold? Green jumbo or Yellow jumbo I can't be sure.
Is this plant rare?
Now I'm just so confuse just how many type of Pileatum are there in the market?
Can anyone give me a full ID of mine please?
And there's another growth on the right. Is that another spike coming? The leaves end turning a bit brown now. I think it's going to rest soon.

No idea, but it sure is a pretty yellow. When I buy something that's a one tag or sign for all, I take a picture of the tag when purchasing. My memory doesn't last long enough to get home and write it down. Just a tip for future purposes.

Catasetum pileatum is an orchid species. But just like humans are all one species (Homo sapiens) the individuals within the species have lots of variation. In fact, we give the individuals in our species names. Well, it's not so different with orchids (or other plants for that matter) Some individuals in the species may be bigger, or rounder... in fact, within the species some are red and some are green like yours. When a breeder gets a particularly nice one, the specific plant may be given a cultivar name, that is usually placed in single quotes. Like Catasetum pileatum 'Green Gold' or Catasetum pileatum 'Jumbo Green Gold'. If the plant was awarded by one of the national organizations such as AOS or AOC or RHS, the cultivar name is registered, since it describes the particular plant. And, unlike people, orchids can be cloned. The clones are, at least theoretically, exact genetic copies of the original (mutations can happen so it might not be exact), and so they carry the cultivar name. I suspect that your plant is a clone of a particularly nice, awarded, plant. And it does look like the species Catasetum pileatum.

Thank you . Its OK i found the exact order of the ID already. Its Catesetum Pileatum Jumbo Green Gold
You maybe right about the clone because it seemed to be less green and more of apple green to me.
I just love this Apple Green color.

Great! The way that orchid names are written (often not on tags... misleading) is to capitalize the genus "Catasetum", if it is a species the name is lower case "pileatum" ... hybrids are capitalized, which helps tell them apart, and the cultivar is in single quotes 'Jumbo Green Gold' . So when you make your tag, write it as
Catasetum pileatum 'Jumbo Green Gold', that tells the whole story.
