Default Brassia something or other

Here is an orchid that my good wife decided to surprise me with this past Saturday after her day out at the Farmer's Market in Union Square (NYC). She also bought me a Dendrochilum magnum (see Coelogyne section).
This is a huge beast of a plan, though not as big as the Dendrochilum. I love the flowers, it's just that I don't know what it is exactly. Anyone care to help out with the ID?

Wow! How tall are the p/bulbs on that? They look big even with the above view. Sorry I can't help with the ID but the flowers have a great looking contrast - lucky you!

I'll have to measure them when I get home, but I would guess at 6 inches.
