I can see both sets of photos on my mobile phone. I can only see the second set on my Windows 8.1 desktop computer.

Is this even an orchid I've never seen one like this before

Yep, definitely an orchid - google "sobralia".

Looks a lot like Sob. macrantha to me. Most of the hybrids don't have such intense color

Thanks, Roberta! That was the impression I had from googling around.

I'd say Sobralia macrantha is correct. It's probably a selfing of the species to get a really nice one selected from the whole group of seedlings. Sobralia macrantha 'Voodoo Priestess' is this quality. You can find several pictures like this on our Facebook pages under Harry Tolen and also under Chula Orchids. Give them a look and friends!!

You will more than likely see three flowers in succession from the same spot on the plant. They only last a few days each.
