I still think it's a hybrid with phil. in it but that's just my opinion...
Assuming the tag should actually read 'elliotianum x something' then the best guess might be elliotianum x philippinense. It is easy for long names to get truncated as tags are copied. Since elliotianum = rothschildianum, this would make your plant St. Swithin, but that can only be a guess unless the supplier can confirm it for you. Depending on the price and how long you've had it a reputable supplier should give you a partial refund for a mislabeled/No ID plant.
I think it just opened. The staminode could become light yellow later on. I have one that looks a lot like yours. It is laevigatum. The flowers are usually a lot paler than the philippinense. Bernhard
