Default Borneo miniature orchid

This one has been blooming after several years of waiting. This is our local Borneo orchid, quite small but very nice pastel color on it. Anybody know it's genus?

My first thought is it's a Phal, but it may be something else in the vandaceous alliance instead.

Looks a lot like Phalaenopsis modesta to me, but I am not an expert.

Thanks guy.

It looks like Phalaenopsis modesta, but after searching on the net, the color is quite different. The purple color on its two lower big petal is very soft. The other three petals are white in color with no traces of purple on it.

It's a Phal Modesta. Great little flower, and sometimes the color fades a bit on older flowers. It's a nice example, and these can get quite floriferous with age.

Thanks guys.

I'll post another picture of the whole orchid, which is sharing with another genus, and not blooming right now.
