L. anceps hybrids
I have a bit of a weakness for both the species, and hybrids showing it's influence.
At the DCOS show in 2018 I exhibited a L. anceps with 14 spikes. However, it was blown away by a Lc. Santa Barbara Sunset 'Showtime' HCC/AOS with 25-30 spikes (exhibited by Waldor Orchids). That plant is shown in the first photo below.
Then, this October something interesting popped up on Ebay (I won't reveal what I paid for it). Please meet Rhyncatlaelia Izumi Sunset ‘Day Dream’ BM/JOGA (2nd photo). As can be seen, this is both a larger and much fuller flower.
