Wow... I was wondering if this was a valid species. Now I know it's for real!
The photos I've seen of this plant on the IOSPE was so confusing to me as it looked similar to a few other Vanda species Jay had posted. I never knew of anyone who owned one, nor was selling one, which also got me wondering about its existence.
Nice find.
Cool flowers.

What a great find, Philippe. The blooms are pretty, and, to me, they look similar to those of V. lamellata (as do the leaves). Are the scented?

Beautiful! It does remind me a lot of V. lamellata.

Thanks everyone for nice comments !
Philip, Steve and Ted, it is a fact that the color pattern is very close to Vanda lamellata, especially with the variety remediosae who has a pink lip. But the lip structures are very different : while the lip of V. lamellata is quite "basic", the V. celebica's lip -as a member of the Hastifera section- is very complex.
Flowers are fragrant and it is said that they first smell like lily and then turn to smell as cucumber.
