Wonderful!

I don't know what it's name may be, but it's beautiful!

If it is a species, I hope some other members may be able to provide a name for you. If it's a hybrid, getting a positivie i.d. is unlikely - tho it reminds me of Purple Gem.

I think it might be Doritis buysonniana possibly, but I'm not positive. I do believe it is a Doritis variety though....whatever it is, it's really nice ! Can you get a closer picture of an individual bloom?

One of the traits of the Doritis species is the straight, erect flower stems, or inflourescence, which yours seems to have. It is a shame the supplier did not provide the name. Are you sure it is a true species and not a hybrid? If it is a species, it can be identified by an expert, but if it is a hybrid, there is no way to identify it specifically as there are so many.
Again, I hope this helps!

(Later that same day.......)
I now have read that DNA testing shows that the Doritis genus, long thought to be a close relative of Phalaenopsis, is actually a branch of Phalaenopsis genus. but from what I see there might be three varieties that some are still considered Doritis with buyssoniana being one of the three - I am not sure. It seems like the Gods of Orchids are playing around with the names again - but hopefully genetic testing results will finally put a permanent name to many....Your plant is definitely of that family though, and I would strongly suspect it is buyssoniana or if it is a hybrid, it is heavily influenced by buyssoniana.
