This is malipoense x leucochilum. No award, and if you are looking at it with a critical eye you can tell why. Look first...

So, couple flaws on an otherwise glorious flower. It is huge - not a flaw! If you look closely you'll see that one petal (on the left) is a slightly different shape than the other petal. Judges don't like that. And the pouch has one little extra 'tooth' on the front that the picture may or may not show. The dorsal looks a little twisted but it is just the camera angle, it is actually pretty good.

I repotted everything about a month ago and I am not sure that this isn't the reason that the flower is a little off. Should be nicer next year. I do like it, and enough that I made a few crosses with it, hence giving it a clonal name.
