The color is a bit more purple-grape than it came out on these pictures.
Thanks for looking.

Stunning, I love the colour.

Very nice!

Wow! That's a dark one. Very nice.

Very nice!

Beautiful!!

Well done! It's a beauty.

One of my favorite (and only) hybrids. I can't get enough of how fragrant and long lasting the flowers of this one is. Do you like the scent?

Adorable!

:love: Fabulous!
Is this a formerly Neostylis?

Thank you for the nice comments everybody.

WhiteRabbit, it is a cross between Vanda tessellata and Rynchostylis gigantea, so no neo in it.

Fragrance is very nice and strong. I really like it.

Ah, thanks for that info! I can see why you like it so much!

Gorgeous!

Thanks!
Here are some pics without using flash, the color is a bit closer to reality:

You grow this plant so well, and I see from other photo you have a very nice grow area for Vandas. Have you thought of raising Neofinetia?

Thank you! I have one Neofinetia in there too. It is 'Shojo', I had it for over a year and just wanted to see if I can bloom them .
It is spiking now, at least top new growth on the picture looks like spike to me, so I will be buying more of them:

Gorgeous flowers!

That "shojo" is a beautiful plant too. YOU must post a picture in the Neonuts subforum, otherwise known as Vanda Alliance -- Neofinetia forum when this plant blooms. Your photography really displays your plants very well. I'm intrigued by this Neofinetia--great purple Tsuke and the leaves are so healthy green. I don't want to hijack this thread since your Vanda deserves all attention on it!!!

One of mine too, Steve. I saw a pale white version of this in a collection years ago, a huge plant made from alba parents, hundreds of super fragrant flowers that looked like tiny ghosts. I heard later that the grower took ill and his entire collection went to waste. :( This dark version is wonderful!

Beautiful
I love the colour too
