Actually this is for all those who thought they are same (multiflora and rosea), including me :P..

These printed Pics were shot and provided to us by some of ours Classmates from Manipur ( Who were resident of Manipur) in 1998.

I need to see the leaf. This is a big confusing between Aerides rosea and Aerides multiflora.

I think it is Aerides rosea
