Which orchid

[GDLWyverex]

I just got this orchid with miniature flowers today. I know little ot nothing about orchids. The vendor was unable to tell me what kind of orchid it is other than to say that it was a wild native orchid

Anyone know which orchid it is?

Thanks

Prosthechea cochleata, sometimes sold as an Encyclia, which it was lumped in with before being separated into it's own genus ( along w/ a few other former Encyclia species )  Pretty easy plant, and can be grown attached to something as an Epiphyte, or in pots ( like this specimen )

Thank you

I would never have found that name on my own
