Due to the "excellent" work of taxonomists on some of the species involved, that is now known as Odontocidium Wildcat.
I find them to be summer bloomers, but frankly, they seem to bloom when they damned well feel like it, which can be a couple times a year. All of the ones I've seen have inflorescences in the range of 18" +/- 6", but that can be affected by culture.
There are a lot of variations in the color of the flowers, ranging in colors like my favorite 'First Rays Red' (top) to 'Jaguar' (below)
