This is Lycaste sninnerii. Flower just opened wide this morning. :rollhappy:
 
I think you mean skinneri?

Lovely flower. I hear these plants are quite large.

One too many i.

I haven't measured it yet but the flower must be at least 6 inches wide. The plants get large when they're leafy but they are far more compact once the leaves fall. However, they are a bit tricky with alternating wet and dry seasons. Still worth the trouble though.
 
That is a beautiful flower, too bad about the fragrance though. Only some sites list L. skinnerii as being fragrant. I hope mine is but it will be awhile before I find out.
