L purpurata (Russeliana x Roxo-Violeta)
Not nearly as impressive as Mauro's or others posted over the last few days but there are orchids and then there is L purpurata.

Beautiful flowers, Jerry. Do they have any fragrance? I just received my first L. purpurata. But the flowers were well past their prime when it arrived, and I couldn't detect any smell from them. Guess I'll just have to wait until next spring to find out firsthand. Congratulations on your plant and flowers.

Wow! Nice color. Love it. If you had a darker background you could see it better.
