Default WROID = Wrong ID

I just got this one as a rescue. Its label has got to be wrong! It is labeled as BLC Hawaiian something... but It is definitely not a Cat hybrid. It looks more like a terrestrial. Doesn't really look like a Spathoglottis or Bletilla, but it has the accordian like leaves.
I saw the medium that the previous owner had it in and I was sure this thing would be totally rotted. It wasn't. Healthy, long, plump, whitish roots! More reason to believe it's a terrestrial. Anyone???

It might be a Spathoglottis plicata. I have one and it looks vary simular and does come from Hawaii. It is a terrestial

It reminds me of a smaller version of either my Phaius tankervilleae or any of the Phaiocalanthe Kryptonite hybrids...looking forward to seeing what blooms

Please keep us updated

Looks like a Nuns Orchid (Phaius) to me. And that would be a terrestial, but not fully grown? Let us know if it does bloom then you can tell.
