Help me identify this hybrid! - Orchid Board

Can anybody identify the name of this hybrid? It smells like a grape. Although it does not show in the pictures, these flowers are dark purplish-red like a red wine.

Thank you.

I love the color.

If I were to make a guess, it looks like a Vascostylis. The flowers seem to have a strong resemblance to Rhyncostylis gigantea. Might be a Vascostylis Pine River or Vandacostylis Colmarie.

Thank you.

Plant your Rhynchostylis gigantea "sagarik strain"

rhys gigantea the flower stalk goes downward, not upward like this

I have the feeling that this is a Rhynchostylis hybrid, something like a ...Kagawara or which it is very close to if not it, Vandachostylis Col Marie which has been note already. Definitely not a Pine Rivers.

If this link works it may show you the correct color you couldn't get in your pic and confirm the Van Col Marie.
