Is it Vanda Robert's Delight? Please ID.

First blooming under my care. More or less I remember that the tag said "Robert's Delight Pink". I don´t think so. I hope someone can help me to identify it. Any suggestions? THANKS!!!

There are many different clones of Roberts Delight.
Without a label it is impossible to confirm (or deny).

OK!!! Thanks I appreciate your lines.

Fourteen flowers, nice color and a great surprise: early morning has a soft, nice fragrance, like grape juice. I don't think that is a Robert's Delight... but indeed I LOVE IT!!!!

Hope you like it!

Well... I´m losing this plant... Since early February the lower leaves began to fall and I've seen how the roots are drying slowly. The plant never grew new roots from the main stem but it did from many secondary old roots. It has always been a plant with this palm-like shape. But I had many leaves after all.... :-( I have read to put it upside down to promote new roots... any clue? All my other vandas have the same cultural schedule and no problem at all... even more, they are growing new roots and from the main stem too! What's wrong?

THANKS!!!

The roots look like they have a fungual infection.

I concur with nikkik as well. Are all the roots dried and feels papery?

what are your cultural conditions? i.e. light, temperature, humidity, water schedule, etc...

Thanks nikkik!!! I will spray fungicide on roots. The plant hast stopped to fall leaves... now I want to know how to promote new roots from main stem. I'm not sure if I must change to a shadowed place.

Thanks Bunch_of_Roots!! The velamen just dry, attached to the roots. Like all my vandas in the same place, watering is daily early morning, fertilizing each Saturday, high light, now we have 20-35 ºC, high humidity. It's weird that almost all the other vandas are growing so well, many with new roots from main stem, and this it didn't. Maybe I must change to a shadowed place. The changing would promote new roots... any advice is welcoming!!!

Soaking the plant in a kelp extract solution will help promote new roots. In addition to placing the plant in a lower light area with high humidity (~70-80%) and lots of air flow.

I would also suggest isolating the plant from others to prevent the spread of the disease. Also, dunk the plant in a bucket of water (do not share this bucket of water with other plants) and let it soak for a few hours to maximize the water absorption.
