Is this vanda panchara delight orchids?

[mightymouse1210]

I’m an orchid lover and also a beginner from Malaysia. Visited a local nursery this morning and came across these 2 orchids plants. I am just curious if anyone knows the name of these orchids. Please see photographs attached.

Your kind assistance will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Although it's very, very tough to make out much of any detail in tiny, blurry thumbnail photos like that, based on what I can tell from the flowers shown in the picture of your second photo, I would say it's unlikely to be Vanda Pachara Delight.

However, even if the flowers did resemble Vanda Pachara Delight, it would still be impossible to say for sure that's the correct name unless it was labeled (and purchased from a reputable vendor). There are simply too many similar looking hybrids and lines of breeding to say for sure.

Doesn't look like a Pachara delight to me either, from what I can tell from the pictures (a correct picture orientation would be appreciated, by the way).

I have a Vanda Pachara delight at home, and they have these really intense bluish-purplish blooms. The photographs never quite capture their true color. It's a sort of bluish tone that just stands out from afar. Like the blue in the Majorelle gardens in Morocco. It just stands out from everything else.

It's a very deep variant of bluish-purple. What's in your pictures, appears to be too light for a Pachara delight.
