It's a Cymbidium of some description. Perhaps aloifolium?

I'm with Ghosthunt - aloifolium. Looks just like mine.

Cymbidium aliofolium?

Cheers,
Aus.

Is the color accurate? Excepting the color, it looks like Cym dayanum, which is white with red stripe and red lip.
How big were the blooms?

Thank you for your attention! Yes, the colors are relatively accurate: the tepals were yellowish (more or less saturated) and in any case non-white. The single flowers were about 25-30 mm in width. The blooms (if I understand correctly the term bloom) were 40-60 cm long...

Cymbidium aloifolium, yes. Here is mine. It ages to that yellowish colour. These flowers are fresh open.

Another vote here for Cymbidium aloifolium. It was my immediate reaction.
