I went to an annual flea market last Saturday as the stall holders were packing up and got this Burr. Stefan Isler 'Lava Flow' for $20 reduced from $35. The main flower spike is a whopping 2' long!
The only downside was that it was potted in a horrible, compacted and moldy muck, but it's now attached to a tree, where I hope it will thrive.

lucky you to get this good deal. What kind of orchid is this? Love the color of the flower!
Hi, Ami. It's basically an Oncidium hybrid. Here's a link: http://www.owensorchids.com/oncidium.htm
That is a stunning orchid. Wonderful to get it marked down. Are you able to leave your orchids attached to the tree through the winter?
An awesome orchid! My neighbors grow theirs in a tree, but I am afraid to with frost risk. Maybe when I get more.
Yes, I leave them in situ if they are attached to a tree, mostly because it's too much of a hassle to take them off. Those in hanging pots and baskets come inside. Despite this year's freeze, I'm more likely to bring them in if a hurricane threatens.
It look so much like a frangipani flower with that background..
Hi, James. It's just a poor photo. I have several frangipanis, but none in flower because of the freeze.
