Joanna, of course, since you asked your question yesterday it's been stewing in the back of brain 
I just went out and secured the plant a little better and took a closer look at the tag.
It says V Pat Delight (M)
I always thought that the (M) stood for Magenta which is the color this looks like to me...could it possibly stand for mericlone instead? 
Oh...and here's an updated photo...or three  |

Commercial enterprises often use (M) to identify a plant as a mericlone. Unfortunately, this info doesn't go far enough in telling us which particular plant provided the material used to make the mericlone.
BTW, there are 6 AOS awards on record for Pat Delight. All awarded plants are notable for their 'cupped' flowers; none has 3 inflorescences. If you show the plant on this flowering, who knows what could happen? Awardable or not, there'd be an interesting discussion.
Your plant is a beauty. |

Your Vanda is beautiful. I get help from the other side as well. Never had much luck with orchids (although I tried) until my beloved daughter passed away. I know she's watching over me.

I brought her down to the AOS last year (a 5 hr one-way trip) when she had two spikes...because I ran the records and found that none had ever been awarded with two spikes previously. She didn't win anything, which was okay because I got to see the AOS Headquarters anyway
I'm already thinking if the third spike blooms while the first two are looking great, she and I might make a much shorter trip to the judging center in Tampa and take another stab at it 
Thanks for all the information, Joanna...your input is always appreciated.

June, I'm so very sorry to hear about your daughter. I'm sure she's with you every single day. |
