Very cool! May be a Cattleya/Cat alliance bifoliate hybrid. I can't identify it. Someone guess?

Beautiful! What amazes me is that they don't get ripped off and destroyed with all the hurricanes you folks have

I'd agree it's C skinneri. Mine are blooming now, too.

Try this link IOSPE PHOTOS
the plant in picture does not represent what they can grow into, my plant looks exactly like the one in flhiker's picture. The color of the flower will vary depening on growing temp, they can be a deep mauve to a washed out pink. And note the size of the bloom, which if a Cat. would be 3", and the plant over all, those pseudobulbs are not a foot long as the Cat would represent and the leaves 6"? I'm not buying it.
Now look at this...link

it's the difference in the size of the sp. that keep me strong to the fact that is's a Den. kingianum.

It's still a pretty specimen regarless...
