Hi - The reason I believe that the plant in Susanne's photo is Vanda (or Papilionanthe, they are the same) Miss Joaquim is the differences in the flower shape and lip (as well as the more vibrant color). Miss Joaquim is a very old hybrid of Vanda teres, hybridized for exactly those traits. A photo of my Miss Joaquim flowers attached.
In any case, since your plant is not in bloom, it could be any of the terete-leaved Vandas/Papilionanthes. I think there are a half-dozen or so.
Regards - Nancy
