The lip is leading me to believe its got violacae somewhere.

You said it, not me!

I just got back from the garden center this afternoon (needed more orchid mix to repot this one) which is where my friends got the orchid. There's another like mine there which is peloric and really gorgeous. On one spike each bloom has 3 perfectly shaped lips. Amazing! The lip-like petals are so perfect that they look more convincing as a lip than the true one. The other spike isn't as peloric, the petals are just a different shape and color. I gotta get that one!
