After I got it home from the orchid show, i found it had no tag. I've sent an email to the vendor, but no replies yet.
Does anyone know what it it?

I agree, Cochlioda. I am certain it is a species. I've also been comparing it with other Cochliodas, and my thinking is that it is rosea, not vulcanica. The flower shape and lip coloring is more similar to rosea than to vulcanica or the other Cochliodas. It's not the other plants suggested (though I'd like to have them, also) . Growth habit and inflorescence excludes them.I examined the lip shape of both noezliana and vulcanica. It is not them or a hybrid of them I feel as both these species have a slightly bifurcated lip. The lip shape seems closer to rosea, but I still think it looks not quite right. http://www.jlorchids.com/assets/images/cochlioda_rosea_lrg.jpg
Cochlioda has 6 to 10 species, so maybe you are lucky and have one of the rarer species. Cochlioda is also unifoliate, so its on the money there.

Cochlioda rosea? Or vulcanica? Erich said he had a vulcanica in his display. I forgot to look for it!
