New Nep, just don't know what it is. xP

I bought this at the swapmeet for 20$! what a deal :) the guy even added a free sarr! It's also adjusted to low humidity which is good for me, living in california and all. He said it was a N.Alata, but I want to hear from you guys. It has 3 seperate stems growing form the pot, and has a mass of leaves. I have to seperate this later. If you need more pictures just post. I was just trying to get pictures of the leaves because I think you guys tell form the leaves : O
 
I put my money on alata x (alata x ventricosa). They can be found at garden centers and such.
 
a deroose ventrata for sure.
 
Yep, looks like a N. x 'Ventrata'.

What swapmeet did you get it at?

Rowland Heights, the guy has 1 more, but he only comes on saturdays and he said he wont be coming anymore for a while.
Rowland Height School. The guy sells orchids, but theres many people there.
 
Yea it's just N. x ventrata ( which is ventricosa x alata).

Looks alata-like. If not pure alata, then a high-percentage alata cross.
 
It's ventrata. They are great neps:)
 
Thats a ventrata. Its very very very common here in Malaysia.

That is not N. alata. True alatas have a stiff ridge under the lid.

N. alata have a lot of variability; but I agree that the plant in question is some form of N. Ventrata.
