Not sure what this is, but it's pretty. Any ideas?

I don't know but it's gorgeous, and we have almost the same kitchen! :bowing

Probably some kind of Miltassia hybrid. Very pretty

It should have 2 leads by spring...for some reason the pseudo-bulb that bloomed last winter didn't send off a new lead, but the one before it did, so after it finishes its blooms I'm going to give it a brief rest and then some superthrive. It looks a lot like the shelob but the spots on the labellum are just different and so is the color, seems like more of the classic miltonia coming through. possibly a shelob that selfed??

Thats very pretty! It looks like Miltassia C. M. Fitch ‘Dark Monarch’ or maybe Shelob webmaster. I'm very fond of my Shelob Tolkiens. They bloom regularly and grow like a weed.

Look up Mtssa. C. M. Fitch 'Izumi' . It looks a lot like that. Like an all rasberry shelob. I found this at Larrys Orchids in the Miltonia Alliance section. Their photo was taken with some more light.

I found it. Looks exactly like Degarmoara memoria Jay Yamada 'kauai'. It seems to also be placed under the nothogenus Aliceara in some places.

Not all no-I.D.'s are this lucky or identifiable. But when you pick something up at an orchid show, there's most likely going to be a name for it somewhere. I should have gotten it back then and written it down!
