I think it's a phalenopsis. We get ones like this from our orchid plant supplier.

I think Heather is very close the Vanda Elizabeth does look like it. There are millions of orchids varieties and many can be difficult to procure as cut flowers. Various types bloom at different times so when they are needed could matter. Also be careful when requesting a color - purple vandas are in many shades from perwinkle blue to dark plum- this color looks like some of the "red" that are offered from the Dutch market.
The description for the Vanda Elizabeth is plum red, so be careful when ordering, request a picture ( although not prefect for coloration) it will hoepfully get you in the color range you need. Purple is not always purple, if you know what I mean.

I have had these in my cooler many times......I order from Orchids and More Inc out of nova scotia canada.They are always listed as a moccara orchid. JMO
I have had these in my cooler before as well-mokara is what they are listed as-I've seen them in golden/yellow colors as well as solid dark purple
The shape of the flower and petal is defintely a mokara orchid, not a phale or a vanda. I'm not sure of the variety name though. It has the vanda coloring with the mokara petals. If you find out, please post here as I'd love to have a vanda with the pricetag of a mokara!
