Thanks so much! I'm much better at identifying birds and mammals than plants.

Yes, Anacheilium is synonymous with Encyclia ...and I guess the species is fragrans rater than cochealtum...especially if that was the species of orchid on their plant list.
So, I agree Anacheilium fragrans.
I've adjusted the color to more of its actual color. And I looked it up in the book written by the owner of the Intag farm I stayed at. It looks more like Anacheilium fragrans to me. what do you think?
