This is C. Hardyana, which is a primary hybrid between C. gigas and C. dowiana var. aurea. Growing in s/h in high light inside the greenhouse. It's very fragrant. The lip takes after the dowiana parent. So far it only blooms once a year for me, but is an easy bloomer and much easier to grow than c. dowiana.
