The 'Laina' clonal name is used by the Orchid Center in Hawaii, so I would not be terribly surprised to find out that they had mericloned it.

Manufacturers recommend, and I have always used a saber saw. The problem I foresee with any high speed tool like a roto-zip is melting the plastic and clogging the bit.

Based on the shape of the lip, I believe this is a hybrid of L. anceps. The lip seems to show the influence of Gur. bowringiana (Laelianthe Wrigleyi) or Gur. skinneri (Laelianthe cielito).

It appears to have two leaves per pseudobulb, so not a Psychopsis. With no other info, I lean toward Rossioglossum (Oncidium) ampliatum. If so, the wrinkled pseudobulbs are normal.

A very striking flower, but I think you misstate this as a biggibum hybrid; it can't be more than 1/4 biggibum. The largest species contribution I could find in a few generations was tetragonum.
