Rosie gave us a very enlightening piece of information that shed light to what orchid plant we both really have.
And I suggest we follow 'Zygolum' since it is the one that is correct.

Thank you all the way around and I agree! I'm going to go back and read her reply and probably copy and paste it in my records so I have the right information. Lol.
I sent the seller a picture of the plant today stating this is a Zygosepalum and there's obviously been an error with your supplier. They said "Perhaps", lol, and went into saying I still got a plant that resembles the representative picture and that it's in the same genus so they're in a tight spot. They asked what I want to do as a solution and offered possibly giving me a discount on my next order. Strangely enough, I out of curiosity went to see their listings and they're ALL GONE!
But honestly I don't think I really want to buy any plants from them! I too am kind of shocked by their response and lack of knowledge. How many other people will or have ordered this plant and received sepalum but told the tags a typo??? This is a beautiful plant and I would like to keep it, however were I more hardcore with my collection I probably wouldn't be so lenient. Or say I already have this hybrid...etc. etc. etc. Upon further image searching I found people with Zygopetalum Louisendorf that looked JUST LIKE the picture from the listing. I am grateful to Rosie for having educated us on this matter because I can see now that no doubt there is a lot of confusion out there. Most of all I thought for sure once I sent the picture of my plant they'd go "OHHHHHH" not "Perhaps". It is what it is I know, and am glad i like the plant at all but unhappy in terms of transactions and business aspects. That and the poor packing job makes me uninterested in ordering even with a discount...unless it's a super awesome discount for a crazy plant!
Then again it might show up and be a duck!

Perhaps I should direct this vendor to the information provided by Rosie...
