This was Neofinetia falcata but has recently been absorbed within Vanda. If there's one thing I know about vandaceous orchids it is that they
require great heat (or so I thought). However, this is a popular species in Japan where they grow it outside as an epiphyte and I am going through a phase of testing possible orchids
for their toughness in my conditions.
So, this may be a sacrificial offering but I was determined to try it out and Spicesotic Plants were able to offer a suitable candidate at a suitable price.

A year later, following a normal rather than exceptional winter, the plant is looking good.
