Anyone know this one?

I recently acquired some sadly neglected orchids, one of which was labelled Schombocattleya gee willikers x C. forbesii I haven't been able to find any reference to this.
Does anyone know of this one, or better still, have a photo?

Myrmecocattleya (formerly Schombocattleya) Gee Willikers (Cattleya guttata x Myrmecophila thomsoniana). I can tell you that with C. guttata in the mix (also one of the parents in C. Chocolate Drop), it's gonna be really cool.

C. forbesii is a really nice plant. Light green sepals and petals with a white lip..looks like it might be waxy like the guttata...WOW, your unnamed hybrid is going to be a really great plant!!!

Thanks you for the info CoolPhrog. There is no guarantee the plant will survive as it is in bad shape but after your description, I will have to give it extra care.
What did poor old Herr Schomburgkia do to have his name struck off?
The people responsible for naming orchids have a lot to answer for as I had just learned to pronounce Schomburgkia - well almost.
I have C. chocolate drop "kodama" which is yet to flower, that came from the same source at Gee Willikers but is in better condition.
Years ago, I had Schom. thompsoniana x ? and it had the most delightful light perfume.

We have faith that you will bring this beauty through with flying colors!!!

CoolPhrog, your faith is probably misplaced but thanks anyway. If it does survive, flowering will be way down the track.
