Mystery Brassia
This was sold to me as Brassia Elver, but Sander's List shows no such animal. Looks like a Rex to me, what do you guys think?

I have an Edvah Loo, and the flowers are much larger. The largest flower on this plant is about 10". I really don't see any influence from longissima either. The overall shape looks much like a gireoudeana, and the warty lip looks like verrucosa, that's why I think it's a Rex. I'm open to other opinions though, especially from a judge. What makes you think it's an Edvah Loo?

I was just trying to find something close to the spelling of the name. Edvah Loo is usually more graceful than this flower which has more of a Rex appearance. There are crosses between things like this that can have the appearance of either parent, and some of them have never been registered.

I talked to the grower today, he confirmed that it is a Rex. It was mislabeled as Brs. Elver, shortened from Elver Loo, which is of course a corruption of Edvah Loo. He said the hurricane last year did a number on his greenhouses, and the people he hired to help with the clean up weren't the best at tagging things, so many of them were mixed up and mislabeled.
