Help to identify this terete Vanda

[silken]

I'm just wondering if this is a species of terete Vanda or a hybrid. I looked at Miss Joaquim but it doesn't seem quite right. It's not my plant. I saw lots of them in a tropical garden in Fiji last winter so I sort of doubted it would be a hybrid as there were a lot. Any ideas would be appreciated.

its probably a hybrid. Perhaps teres x tricuspidata??? Don't seem to have any hookerianum blood in it.

Thanks both for responding.

sbrofio, it sure does look like the first one in the link you provided. OrchidWiz does show a similar version of that name but no photo. I guess it is not likely a species.

I can definitely tell you outright that this is not V. Noriko Sumida. It is certainly a paplionanthe hybrid however.

Could it be Miss Joachim crossed with V. JVB?

It's possible. OW shows the cross registered but no pictures of it. Thanks for the suggestion.
