Nicely flowered, but this doesn't look like longissimum, but a hybrid of longissimum.

OrchidWiz shows anywhere from two to about 6 petals in their photos. Some have lots longer tails tho.

It's beautiful, ewcia! I agree with msaar that it doesn't look quite like any of the other longissimum I've seen. SBOE doesn't seem to think it's necessarily the species, either, they call it 'longissimum type' on one page of their website... Maybe worth contacting them to see where they got it? Even if it's a hybrid it's not necessarily a man-made one.

SBOE used 'longissimum type' because they don't really know what it is and it is their way of letting you know what the flowers will look like. I really don't believe it is longissimum for a number of reasons. The lateral sepals are too open where they meet the column and they are way too short, just to name a few.

Well, I'm certainly not one to talk cuz I'm brain dead most of the time and not with the program the rest of the time. Having said that, this is my Bulb. longissimum from this past blooming season. While it looks very similar, one of the characteristics, I think, are its long "tails" on the petals. Also, since this is the 1st flowering, I wonder if they will be longer next time around?
