    Looks like a hybrid with parents like merrillii, bensonii & tricolor in there. What are the measurements of the flower ? Can we get a pic of the whole plant please.

    It has the coloration of V. insignis. Size sounds about right too but lip seems reflexed the wrong way. ???

    KellyW is probably right, I completely forgot about V. insignis.
