Potinara, abbreviated Pot. in horticultural trade, is an intergeneric hybrid of orchids, with Brassavola, Cattleya, Laelia and Sophronitis as parent genera. This hybrid is a real beauty with yellow flowers with a maroon stripe and as a bonus they're nicely fragrant. The weird thing is that the flowers are oriented upside-down on the spike as you can see in the fourth picture. I picked this up at the Fort Lauderdale Orchid Society's annual show and sale back in 2004. I left it on the windowsill last night and there must have been thunderstorms. This morning I found it on the ground with the pot shattered, but I already re-potted it, no harm done!
