The flower in this photo is Coelogyne Unchained Melody. It's a cross of Coel. cristata (either the alba or lemoniana forms) and Coel. flaccida. Note the hybrid chatacteristics of the lip lamellae (shorter hairs bassally than cristata) and sidelobes (striations from flaccida).

Very nice. I wonderd if you were still "doing" orchids.
