User's notes

The flowers on this orchid were noticeably larger and more elongated than the surrounding C. ustulata orchids. They were also spaced further apart on the stem. The stem was also taller and the leaf was longer and wider. Could it be C. dimorpha?

Well documented Rob! I don't have much experience with dimorpha but I'll dig into this a bit more. Certainly a possibility
