Help identify a Polycycnis species - Orchid Board

As the title suggests, I have a Polycycnis species that needs identifying. I checked out orchidspecies.com and so far narrowed it to a couple based on the info on the tag, and I have also reached out to Andy’s to see if they can help but haven’t received a reply as of yet.

If a few days go by and you haven't heard from Andy, ping him again... he's not the best in the world at answering emails. Now that you have flowers, he might be able to come up with an ID - or tell you why he is still in doubt.

I really like that one!

Kind of looks like it might be Polycycnis muscifera to me.

I have both P. muscifera and P. annectans, neither of them have that soft pink. I'd love to know... because I probably need one.

Thank you, Roberta, for that terrific line. I will use it on my husband....”I don’t know, Honey, but I’d like to know because I probably need one!” Sounds like it will cover a multitude of orchid sins!

I was thinking it could possibly be barbata or lepida.

So Andy got back to me. He said it’s possibly muscifera.
