This has been in spike for it seems like ever, yesterday I noticed a couple of the flowers were open. So does any one have any ideas on what this is?

The pseudo-bulbs are 3 inches wide by 4 inches tall, flowers are approx. 8 inches(tip of top sepal to tip of bottom right side sepal) I'm going to describe them as being narrow, maybe 3 inches. Color is pretty true to life. Thanks for any suggestions.

it seems to be a miltassia of some sort.....a cross of brassia/miltonia.....nice plant, well grown!

I'm not sure it's exacty the same, but it looks very much like Bllra. Tropic Splendor ('Golden Gate' mine in pic) maybe?

Not much help but it certainly appears to have Brassia in it.

That lip is pure Brassia, one of the shorter petalled species or hybrids - B. Rex or another B. verrucosa hybrid.
