Default Re: My flowering NO ID Orchid

Looks a bit like Coelogyne flavida or maybe pallens, or ovalis! Hard to tell without the closeup photo. C. flavida has 2 brown keels on the lip and a little more brown/orange on the outer sides of the lip, C. ovalis has them running from the base but they don't run all the way to the tip of the apex (and more white surrounding the outer edges of the lip), whereas C. pallens has two high, wavey keels with the edges of the lip ciliated (and appears to have a wider white center patch of white). Oh well, there's always next year! Beautiful blooms anyway!
