ONCIDIUM hybrid? Any guesses?
Not sure what this is... but it looks like an oncicium, but then it's got slight markings like those "pansy" orchids. Probably a cross of the two ya?

Certainly an Oncidium-tribe intergeneric hybrid. Someone more knowledgeable can do better than I on guessing which genera went into the mix. Far too complex to come up with a definite ID.

Looks like a Miltassia (hybrid between Brassia and Miltonia).

I just googled "dark purple miltassia" and got an immediate picture match of "Miltassia Dark Star 'Darth Vader'". I think that might just be what it is. Thank you. |

Usually with these intergeneric Oncs you can find find the name fairly easily as most as unique looking. But in your case it could also be a Miltassia Royal Robe... I don't think Miltassia Dark Star is correct, that one has markings on the petals/sepals, while yours are solid purple.
I don't think you can go as far as identifying the exact cultivar though, many times there are few visual differences between them.

There are markings on the petals... I just can't seem to capture them on camera. Doesn't really matter... I'm still happy to just know it's a Miltassia.  |

Well, until you said there are markings on the petals, I was going to suggest looking up a picture of Colmanara Masai Red, which I believe has been reclassified as Oncostele Midnight Miracles. I have one, and the picture you posted, as it appears on my monitor, could have been a picture of mine.
I'm not claiming to be any kind of expert -- faaaar from it! -- just going by what I can see in the pic.

Still not able to get a good shot, but do these count as marking? |

They are faint but I think they are very similar to the ones bellow. These are from one that I have, sold as cambria but, after exhaustive investigation I'm almost certain (not 100%, obviously) that it's a Miltassia Dark Star "Darth Vader".

Thank you for that... also, I'm seriously jealous of the amount of flowers you've got on that plant... mine only got 4! |
