Do orchids hybridise between species? This one looks loke a cross between a D. nigromontana and a D. pardina

It don't think its D. pardina (rare on Black Mountain). It could be a colourful form of D. nigromontana. A hybrid is also a possibilty, or D. semilunulata.

As this orchid was photographed on 27 Sep it probably is unlikely to be D. semilunulata.
