definitely miltonia or miltoniopsis. i'm not sure of the species because there are so many dark red varieties.

Yes, it's very beautiful! Nice find.
I also read the differences between Miltonia and Miltoniopsis that Dorothy posted and found that interesting about the foliage contrasts.
Someone once told me that the only ones that have a scent is Miltoniopsis. That's how I thought to tell the difference between the two.

wow, I never find anything like that at the local Trader Joes, I only find Pahls and paphs here. Nice color. Dorothy I know the feeling of 'HAD', I have 'HAD' quite a few.
