This is either Vanda griffithii or Vanda cristata. I can see three lobes on the front of labellum. Cant confirm the id from these pics. Does not look like Vanda griffithii but could be V. cristata. Some more images! 2 images- 1 & 2 mb each. 1 image- 6 mb. I am not sure. Alpina has no points at the tip of labellum. It is better to have fully open flowers. References: |
