At least!
Same with Safeway.

Matsui Nursery did reply and say that to them... it appears to be a variety known (to them) as “Masai Red.”

You'll never know for sure, but just enjoy your beautiful orchid!

Thank you. I’m certainly enjoying this orchid and she already drank some water today.

Sounds about right, and mine is extra splashy.
Conclusion: Oncostele Midnight Miracles, a beautiful name for a beautiful orchid.
