lol i wish. I got this plant as a division, no tag.

So after some searching i know this

Its a Hybrid with 4 strains.
Vanda Dr. Anek
Vanda Tessellata
Vanda Merv L. Velthuis
Vanda Haad Ravai


To create the Vanda Haas Ravai = V. Dr. Anek x V. Tessellata
That brings me to the final product =
V. Haas Ravai x V. Merv L. Velthuis



What does everyone think?

Yikes, I need a drink, Ha Ha Ha, just kidding.

I got all excited when you said "you found it", of course I thought you were referring to the tag.

In any event it is very beautiful!!!! Thanks for the pics.

Unfortunately I still think there is no way of knowing anything. It is still guesswork. There is absolutely no way to be certain about the ID of a hybrid unless it has very very distinct characteristics.
All you can really say is that those 4 plants are possibly in it's parentage.

I have seen very distinct characteristics here.

The fragrant bloom & crumpled sepals & petals of the Tessellata
the Deep red mixed with Merv L. Velthuis' Lilac
plus the lip of the V. Haad Ravai and its spotted petals & sepals

sorry, Cristiano...Camille is right...your only hope is getting the correct information from the person where you found this plant...or a tag...otherwise everything is pure speculation...your plant is still a NOID at this point in time.

Yes it certainly has tessellata in it, but again, you are guessing for the others. An educated guess, but still just a guess. There probably exist other similar looking plants that could be equally convincing as potential parents. When I started with orchids I was equally convinced that I had IDed one of my Phals, because I thought it had unique characteristics. I was wrong, there are at least 5 hybrids that look just like it.

I'm not trying to discourage you from possibly getting an ID, but there is no way to be so darn certain without the tag. A noid is a noid, that's how it works!

Anyway for you to track down the name via the person who gave you the division?

It's V. Cristiano #7.
