It's definitely an Ornithocephalus, but which species I don't know. I grow them but find only confusion in the literature as to which species is which.

I don't think bicornis has that long column - that's what really puzzles me about this one.

My O. bicornis has long column. pictures by google also show long column too. However... this genus has a lot to clean up.

Thanks for all answers. What do You think about O. kruegeri? Like that for example:

Your plant structure looks very much like krugeri, but Krugeri should have some clearly marked green stripes on the petals if my memory doesn't fail me.
