It looks very similar to a Cyc. warscewiczii female flower.

my apologies to contradict you Laura, but these ara not female cycnoches flowers.. this is 100% Cycnodes.
Cycnoches flowers (female and male) has non-resupinate flowers. While Cycnodes commonly inherit this character from the Mormodes, as it is the case of the flowers shown in this thread, and which are typical cycnodes flowers...

Check his link and you'll see that his lip and the one on my "other" JP are similar with a pointed end, and your is different with a flat end. That's a point of identification but I'm not the one to decipher it !

as I mentionned, Cycnodes Jumpo Puffcan have different lip depending on whether it was done with Cyc. chlorochilon or Cyc. warscewiczii (long story made short, still a lot of people cannot make the different between both species!). Furthermore, female (very selten) and male (very common) flowers of Cycnodes are almost identical.. the difference is in the column, as it is the case in Mormodes...
