Based on the spike habit, I would say it is Phal. mannii.

Mannii was my first thought when I saw the flowers.

Doesn't mannii have a very flattened spike?

No, cornu-cervi and pantherina have the flattened "staghorn" spikes. Here is Phal. cornu-cervi.

Yea, thought mannii when I first saw it!

How do you get holes at the top of clay pots without cracking the pot? It really looks like a clever way to hang clay pots!!

Soak clay pot in water for 1hr or so, use brick drill bit to drill holes, make sure you put a thick piece of wood at the bottom (where you put pressure on). you can also holes around the pot by using smaller drill bit and enlarge to the size you want
hope this help
