Lion Star aerides?

[debrasoon]

Does anyone know what this is? The label just said Lion star. One bought from Thailand and fragrant. Assumed it was an aerides but could be wrong as this is a smallish orchid.

I'm guessing that it's Ascofinetia (now Vanda) Lion Star - Neofinetia falcata x Ascocentrum Sagarik Gold

Flowers definitely show Neof falcata influence. However, color is wrong for (NF x Sagarik Gold), as SG = Asctm miniatum x Asctm garayii (both solid yellow/orange).

Color pattern shows influence of an Aerides, with pink at the tip of petals & sepals. And, considering the flower shape, NF might be two generations back.

It might be Vanda Lion Star x Aeriedes ??, but without an original label we can't get any closer.
