Question Trying to grow a Masdie again...but don't know what this one is called

After a year of analyzing what went wrong to cause the death of my Tala Sca, I decided to try growing a masdie again. I got this one the other night at our orchid society meeting but the vendor had received it without a name. So, desperately wanting to get the temps, etc. right, I took a bit of a blurry pic with my cellphone. Can anyone tell from the pic what masdie this is?

Okay, tried several times to post the photo but if you check out my member gallery, its there. Also, the purple paph that's still unnamed. I know, I should stick with named 'chids but how can you turn down such a sweet little beautie as this cheery yellow masdie?

A nice clear yellow - no way of telling what it is 'cause there are so many crosses out there. Masdies are pretty easy to grow if you can keep them cool during summer. I use Paph mix for mine and water mostly with RO (or distilled) water. They are very sensitive to mineral/chemical buildup and even dilute fertilizer will cause leaf pleating and distortion. If too warm in summer, they get spotting on leaves, may drop leaves prematurely or not set spikes in the fall. If they are kept below mid 80s then they bloom nearly any time of year, but mostly mine have a flush of blooms right now in late fall, early winter.

Okay, I got a new humidifier, small fan, distilled water, and, after googling most of the day yesterday and, of course, finding nothing much that it could be except possibly one called Jungle Mushroom, I think I'm just going to call my clear lemon yellow noid, Lemon Drop or something along those lines. Doesn't really matter except that unless I learn its true heritage, I'll never be able to enter it in shows. Oh well....it certainly brightens up these dark days.
