I'm not a Gongora specialist, but I guess Gongora galeottiana:

Scott, you have the six-spike Stan. candida ! Nice orchids! I grow lots of stanhopeinae too!

Your spot on Frederico, a Mexican species if my memory serves me correct, not to many around so it is good to see one

Dont think its a grossa. They have a more uniform base color with the reddish spots overall. If you end up not finding a match, check with Hoosier orchids. They have a few guys really up on the Gongoras.

Its sure is interesting. Maybe a hybrid?

It's the first time I see this Gongora. It's very cute and I love the spotting!
