Default NOID but spectacular orchid

Last fall I purchased an orchid from Hildegarde Howell at Tewksburry Orchids on the sole fact that it was healthy looking and had a tag. She was selling many NOID (No ID) orchids for $5 and this one looked good and did have a tag. After I got it home, I started an internet search for the tag info and found nothing. Went to the RHS Orchid register and found nothing. Since I had no flowers, I was at a dead end. Now it has flowers and I think it is spectacular, so I have renewed my efforts to get a proper name (did I mentions I hate NOIDS?)

I took the orchid to Hildegarde last week and she told me this was from a collection of an elderly gentleman who had horrible handwriting and worse record keeping. She made this tag up based on some guesses, so for arguments sake, the tag (image enclosed) is worthless. So much for buying an orchid with a tag. Doues anybody have a suggestion?
