I agree with Ray, it is likely mis-labelled. Lippewunder has very prominent brown markings on both dorsal & petals.

This plant is barely large enough to divide, but unless you have someone demanding a division, I would not do it at this stage. Simply repot for now.

Zygos can be tricky. I have heard that they have a tendency to self-polinate (same as Phragmipediums). Remove all pollen from the flower before you attempt the pollination.

Are you are talking about 'reed stem' Epis?
And if so, hybrids, species or both?

Hybrids tend to be stockier than species. It could also be a question of 2N (normal) vs 4N (tetraploid).

With Cattleya types, the flower needs to be fully open, ideally 2-3 days. If you try to pollinate sooner, the pollen might be ready, but the stigma is not.

There have been a number of intergeneric hybrids with Holcoglossum reaching the market the last 3-5 years. Though whether they have made it to Venezuela is questionable.
