Your plant is registered as Clowesetum Black Jade; it has five awards. Color descriptions green or apple green.

The grex, White Magic, (warscewiczii x Orchidglade) has three awards. Color described as chartreuse or lime yellow; White Magic also has a very fimbriated (fringed) lip as in your plant, hence Mark15 suggestion.

In any case, yours is a lovely flower!
