Ey up! Here's a couple of photos I found whilst googling around today... any clues?

How specific do you want to get? The first is an antelope type Dendrobium, the second is a complex Phal hybrid (with maybe a little appendiculata in the mix).

Hehehe, I had as far as "Dendrobium something" and "it looks like its probably a Phal, fingers crossed it's a species". Maybe I'll just stick with those names, as identifying them any further (and then finding them) looks like Mission: Impossible.

Antelope Dendrobium and Phal hybrid are as precise as we can get. As they appear on my monitor it seems obvious they have both been adjusted to appear darker and more blue than they actually are. The Antelope might be a species, but the color adjustment complicates any possible identification.

I don't know anything but if that's their true color, I want them too! I love love dark purple.

See below. I was watching this for awhile on eBay. Not sure if it
Is the true color but it states it's an antelope species. I do not know this seller so I am not sure of their reputation but when I saw your first pic, I thought of this.

The fastest way to achieve this happiness is to learn how to use Photoshop.

Yeah, the colours did seem a bit too deep to be real... It was the shapes and patterning that really grabbed my attention with them, though.
