Beautiful red orchid but what kind?

Can someone please tell me what type of orchid this is. I have many phalaenopsis and a few oncidium, but this appears quite different.
Someone gave me this one, and they did not know what kind it was. It is very beautiful.

It is a reed-stem Epidendrum. Likely a hybrid (quite a few look similar so impossible to guess the exact one) These are wonderful plants, once they get into bloom, they can keep blooming for many months. There are some species that also look similar, but the large flowers suggest hybrid. Lots of light. It needs much more moisture than your Phals, should not dry out.

Looks a lot like Epi. radicans.

Thank you for the information.
