Saw your plant at the show and was duly impressed. Too bad they didn't quite make it. It would have been pulled for judging if it had.

I like theplantlist.org because it shows who the name is accepted by, but it's good to know that they simply follow the lead of KEW.

Orchids that I have this issue with generally like to dry out but still have very high humidity. You might not have as much of an issue If you can increase the humidity. Just a thought.

Hard to tell specifically, but it looks like a cymbidium to me. Any identification beyond that is practically impossible.

Vanilla planifola is one of two species that have any value for making vanilla extract and even still planifola is far and away superior. I wouldn't spend my time trying any other species.

The number one thing that I would try to get a plant to bloom if it is otherwise healthy is increase the amount of light that it gets.
