Miss labeled vanda?

This was labeled at Vascostylis Veeraphol, but I'm pretty sure it is not. I'm thinking it may be as Ascocentrum Miniatum. Can anyone tell for sure?

Beautiful blooms ! I am sure it does not have the characteristics of a Vascostylis. Nevertheless: a Miniatum is mini...about 5 to 7 inches in height....I dont know how tall your plant is; I cant tell.

Jeff, it is beautiful whatever the name! To me it definitely looks like it has Rhynchostylis in there, probably coelestis since the spike is so upright. And its foliage reflects Ascocentrum garayii (often mistaken for and/or mislabeled as miniatum), and definitely has the coloring of garayii or miniatum. My best guess is Rhynchocentrum Ladda Gold, which the RHS site says is A. miniatum x R. coelestis.

This one 12" tall and getting taller.

I think Rhyncocentrum Ladda Gold is a pretty good fit. It is (Ascocentrum miniatum x Rhyncostylis coelestis), and your flowers look a lot like an orange coelestis

Whoops, I put 1/4 coelestis, LOL! Thank you, msaar.

I took this to the Plantation Ochid Society meeting and a knowledgeable expert there told me that he's pretty sure it's Rhyncocentrum Ladda Gold. He said he's very familiar with that cross. It also won a blue ribbon.

Then Ladda Gold it is....its got the correct characteristics and by the height and looks of the plant & flowers; Gage & msaar got it down pat

Congratulations on the blue ribbon....
