Question Trying to identify a Blc./Epi. cross, please help!

I just got a hold of a Blc. Mikey Freckles/Epi. Cordigera and I cannot find a picture of one in bloom to save my life. I see that the Cordigera is really interesting looking and that's why I got it. Mikey Freckles is nowhere to be found online and I cannot find it in any books. If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Perhaps the name is just spelled or interpreted wrong! I've bought several orchids that were tagged with the wrong name becuase the translation didn't come through right. I don't have my orchidwiz up and running right now, but perhaps someone could search there for you...

True Blc Mickey Freckles does not show up on the RHS Site, but Brassocatanthe Mickey's Freckles does. Below is a link to a webpage with a pic of it still listed as Blc Mickey's Freckles. You had two things going against you first a mispelled name tag and second another realignment of orchid names. I love puzzles.
