Beautiful! I love this one & yours has a nice shape. I have one but the flower is 'longer' than yours, which has a lovely rounded shape to it. Have you smelt It's gorgeous scent?

Hmm, I see several of the Phalaenopsis violacea varieties have changed to Phalaenopsis bellina, while others are still Phalaenopsis violacea. It doesn't list this variety on the Kew 'World Checklist of Selected Plant Families' though.
Now you say it it does look a lot like pics I've seen of Bellina... hey if it IS Bellina then I HAVE one of these in spike (it's first spike).

Hi Rosie, if you follow the link you can see that violacea var. Borneo is a synonym for Phal. bellina
