Yes, that is Laelia superbiens or Schomburgkia superbiens or Myrmecophyllia superbiens, take your pick.
There is some range in color to the species but it is pretty!
I had one in Florida, originally from 1983 in NY but rarely bloomed. It like Florida better and bloomed maybe 5 out of 9 years. It would have been 6 but thrips got it one year.
On Long Island it maybe bloomed 3 times in 25 years. It was all a matter of SUN! ☀️
