What is the pinkish/purple orchid on the 4th page of your photos - 1st column, 2nd row?

It was horrendous .. I live 10 - 15 minutes away ..one of the worse things was the smell in the air that lingered for days .. I will never forget it .. I think all our hearts were wounded that day and the scar still remains ...
This past weekend, my family and I were viewing old videos of a cruise to the Statue of Liberty we took years ago and there they were in the NYC skyline .. where everyone was chatting and laughing, the mood became very somber and we were all speechless ..
