Looks like some kind of schomburgkia.

Thank you I think thats it. Beautiful orchid from Panama. I wonder if I can get it here in Canada.

Perhaps not a good choice for indoor orchid culture. The literature says that it gets to be very large.
Closely related orchids (schomburgkia) are sometimes seen around here but are not all that popular purely because of plant size considerations.
