Hi Marco 
I found out today that it pays to read the tag!
This is actually Neo falcata x ampullaceum, which is where the pink is coming from
I love it!!! |

Your plant is Ascofinetia Cherry Blossom = Neofinetia falcata x Ascocentrum ampullaceum. The ampullaceum may bring pink color to the hybrid; it is also rounding out the flower form. Even on small plants, the flowers are pretty spectacular and incredible fragrance.

Thanks for the info, Joanna 
I do have Asctm ampullaceum, which is one of my favorite 'chids...it's done really well for me, spectacular when in bloom
To have that combined with Neofinetia falcata is a double-goodie |

It's a cute little booger. I bought a N. falcata today, and the flowers have a light purple hue to them.
