Ask her if it smells really nice at night. If so may be brassavola nodosa.

Or maybe... Angraecum scottianum? Check here IOSPE PHOTOS

Hope you'll find the name..

I have a few of those......I'm not too sure of the name though.... Isn't it called "little stars"?

Angraecums are monopodial...this is definately a sympodial grower...I think its a Brassavola nodosa too...

I agree, it definitely looks like a nodosa. If it is a nodosa, you're in for a treat. These blooms have the most incredibly, beautiful fragrances.

Here's a pic of mine for you to compare.

I should have said that it's probably a Brassovola, not necessarily a nodosa though. Whichever one this is, you're still in for a surprise with the fragrance.
