Odontoglossum Margaret Holm
I got this one 4 years ago from Paramount. Blooms like clockwork each June-July.

Actually Todd it is Odontocidium Margaret Holm 'Larkspur' and it's a great picture but it still doesn't do the flowers true justice. The white in the flower shimmers in light when you look at it naturally. It is one of my favorite odont alliance plants and I have a few in my collection.

It is indeed an Odontoglossum, and it is Margarete, not Margaret (thanks for making me note this missing letter in the title).
you may be right about the clonal name tough. 
You can use the official RHS database , if in doubt:

I knew the clone was 'Larkspur' but I forgot to add that. I didn't know it was Margarete though! Thanks Tricho!
