Maybe it's just the angle of the photographs but your leaves look more "vanda like" while mine seem a little more "Phal like".

My leaves actually do look pretty much like that, maybe was camera angle - it's not as 'rangy' as the Hygrochilus parent which really looks like a Vanda. Mine is a root-monster that is rather Vanda like.

It is indeed backwards Aerides... that's how I check the spelling to get the "i" and the second "e" in the right places. Except that it fell to the "no monotypic genera" rule... so now it's Phalaenopsis. Not nearly as much fun.
