Don't think this is Rhynchostylis

[Acharn]

Picked up some new acquisitions from the market "in front of the camp," over the river next to the Army base. The lady told me the Thai name, but I didn't catch it and was too embarrassed to ask her to repeat it. The blossoms look just like another plant I have that I've identified as a Rhynchostylis gigantea, but the roots on this one are thinner and the plant would be much taller if it were vertical. Also, the two Rhynchostylis I already have both bloomed in February. The blossoms are about 1.5 inch (a little over 3 cm.) in diameter. Any suggestions?

Looks like Aerides.

Aerides lawrencea

Ah, thanks. After I posted the inquiry I stumbled across the Aerides connection. I thought the color of Aerides falcata was a good match, but I didn't go far enough down the list. The lawrencea clearly matches the color on the petals and sepals. Color matching in photography is problematic.

Boy, I love this board.
