Lavender flowers - Orchid Board

I found this lavender orchid so pretty, but it had no ID tag. Anyone know what it is. I believe the leaves are like oncidium leaves.

My first thought is Cambria. While it's not named in the link, this seems fairly similar:

Sorry I can't help more. And I'm not affilitated with the above website, just looked fairly close.

Cheers,

Oncidium intergeneric alliance hybrid, such as Miltassia, Cambria, Beallara.

Beallara Marfitch? Kinda close anyone?

Just a vague guess thanks to Euplusia's suggestions. I have high levels of ignorance of species, crosses etc but I have high levels of experience trolling through endless pages of pictures trying to find a name or match for my own plants.

Cheers,

Yes
it is Beallara Marfitch 'Howards Dream'

probably a clone of a clone, of a clone, ad infinitum.

new growth matures, and blooms about every 9 to 10 months.
