Hy NC,
This is actually a hybrid Neofinetia, with Ascocentrum in it's "blood-line" There are no red Neofinetia's. These are all back crosses from hybrids, just like all really yellow flowered forms (with the exception of Zuiun, wich is an actual Neofinetia falcata variety). However they are lovely and many are scented. And most are clasified within the Neofinetia variety group.
Good growing!
This one is actually called "Choukou" or "Chōkō" 超紅 (alternative speling:Choko, Cyokou) and translates into "Super Scarlet". The Korean name is "Chohong".
