You should be very proud. I'ts just wonderfull.

I just love it! How big is it? It looks to be a decent size and not a mini. Thanks for sharing it again!

SIZE
 

Is about 10 cm wide and 8 cm high.... the flower
and the plant is in a 12 inch pot and the leaves are about 30 cm...

That is a very odd looking maxillaria. Very nice colors, I thought it was a lycaste.

"The genus Lycaste has plicate, deciduous leaves with short, ovate, thick, ribbed psuedobulbs with 2 or 3, thin, heavily-veined, apical leaves with foliaceous sheaths at the base " ... ORCHIDSPECIES PHOTO ENCYCLOPEDIA.

I'm sure mine is a Maxillaria ... my plant don't have a pseudobulb and the leaves are round and aren't heavy-veined....
The flower could be a Lycaste... maybe a natural hybrid maxillaria - Lycaste????

could possibly be a natural hybrid, I believe its called a maxicatse. I have dont have much experience with larger maxillarias though so it could still be one. You dont see anything like it on orchidspecies.com. I would like to know the mname too. Is it fragrant?

Looks like a lycaste to me also. Most of my maxillaria have pseudobulbs, don't put as high a flower stem out, and none have leaves that are, well, lycaste looking. Nor do the flowers look that way.

On the flip side, seen ones labeled what I never expected so one never knows.

But if it is any help, it is a magnificent flower!!!!!! Let us know if you discover the name.

SORRY ...NO FRANGRANCE
 

This maxillaria is not fragrant....
I've showed this maxillaria to a friend, he's like an encyclopedia.... he work 30 years with orchids here in Ecuador... and he told me that this Maxillaria is a kind of Fletcheriana.... very rarely...
I don't think so, it has so many differences with max fletcheriana... but the center of the flower is very simillar... It could be.... I'm not a doctor in maxillarias
anyway ... I wanted put my name on this maxillaria albertoiii is fine... :rofl:

Can totally understand why you're so thrilled. It's a keeper!

A friend told me the name, he has 30 years of experience in orchids from Ecuador, he said it is a maxillaria fletcheriana ... very rarely... I'm not sure mine has so many diferences with that maxillaria, but the center is very simillar...

Hi, your plant is very close to fletcheriana, but some differences. Maybe a new species. the petals are a different shape, the lip isn't rffled like fletcherana. The flowers have good form and I like the tall spike.

Hi:
Here are the differences that I see... Beetween Fletcheriana - Sanderiana and my Maxillaria:
The leaves from My Maxillaria are bigger and rounder than the Fletcheriana.
My Maxillaria doesn't have Pseudobulbs, the fletcheriana has...
The flower is bigger... the petals have different shape...
The flower of fletcheriana is closed mine is open ...
The Spike is taller and is clean, the spike of Fletcheriana has more kind of leaves in the spike...

I think the flower of my MAX has more coincidences with MAX Sanderiana .... but the different is the tall spike... Sanderiana flowers down and curved...like Stanhopeas...

Here are Photos of my collection FL=Fletcheriana
