A puzzle to solve Female
Default A puzzle to solve

all
got this as a seedling 3/4 years ago,was suppose to be
Phal equestris-But as you can tell-it is not
So-what is it?
Any help from any of you would be welcome.
Last year it made a long spike with lots of buds-but they all blasted-this year there are blooms-but i would love to know what it is-up to now-i thought it was a Phal- so it might need a different culture?

The flowers do look citrata-ish but the leaves look Sedirea-ish (for now designated Phalaenopsis).

Does it have a scent?

Looks Aerangis to me, quite possibly citrata. A clear picture of another flower might be helpful, since the most prominent one appears to have extra petals etc.
