Well, it must be fischeri. Is the other the one no one seems to be sure of as a species yet???

Yep, you are right....

Yes, a bunch of them have bloomed. The first one that bloomed was kind of disapointing, but the ones that have bloomed after that have all been pretty similar (like the photo). I agree it is a nice cross. I like the yellow color on the inside of the pouch and the spotting pattern.

I named it Phrag. Mardi Gras...that explains Jon's remark:

Does it have anything to do with Tuesday?

Jon

"Mardi Gras" is "Fat Tuesday" in french....and I wanted to name it with something related to Brazil....as carnival is famous in Rio De Janiero I named it Mardi Gras.

For those of you who have not guessed it yet; the parents are Phrag. brasiliense x Phrag. fischeri; so actually Phrag. vittatum x Phrag. schlimii were the "old" names of these species at one point of time. For more about Phrag. brasiliense see my other thread.
