Cant make out properly, but this is Catasetum. could be a hybrid, but I need to check proper image of single flower and whole plant.
I could find a few more pictures.
Hope these are helpful.

After a lot of searching, I could find a picture exactly matching with my pictures. It says Catasetum fimbriatum. But when I click on that picture, a slightly different picture opens. It says from Atlanta Botanical Garden.
Are the flowers variable?
Looks like it, but there are so many hybrids that its hard to tell.
