Unfortunately thats not pat's delight, but it is gorgeous all the same.

[LovePhals]

Lovely! Although I was kind of thinking the same thing as cristiano.

[NYCorchidman]

Yes it is. Pat's Delight comes in pink as well.

And still it is not pat's delight. I know pat's delight comes in pink, as well as, red, and even blue. Still is not Vanda Pat's Delight.

[NYCorchidman]

I don't know what makes you say that.
First the original poster posted it as such.
Second, I see nothing wrong calling this Pat's Delight.

Yes you are right, I could call it Vanda Coerulea if I wanted to as well, but it is neither that nor Pat's Delight.
Yes the poster calls it Pat's Delight because most likely they are going off of the tag on it.
Pat's Delight doesn't have this flower shape and does not have tessellation. It also is deeper in colour and has some spotting overlay on top of a pink/fuchsia background.
This really is not Pat's Delight at all.

[NYCorchidman]

Not at all actually. Coerulea usually have quite different shape and color intensity.

I knew why you were saying what you were saying, that is you are used to the most commonly seen clone of Pat's Delight pink, which is what you described.
Not all of them look like that, hence you cannot say this is not Pat's Delight because it looks different.

Well of course it isn't a Coerulea, that is a given. And no Pat's Delight looks like this. Unless you are saying to me that this grower has recreated pat's delight with the original parent plants and grown it from seed and found this one to be an unusual seedling then sure. But all Pat's delight in cultivation that you will find are mericlones or have been given clonal names long ago and since have been cloned.
All pats delight clones resemble each respective colour variety. The only difference you will see is flower size and cupping or reflex flowers which is based on environmental factors including temperatures.

So again yes I can say for sure that this isn't an actual Pat's Delight. I can also say with confidence that unless mistakenly posted as Pat's Delight, then the growers plant has been mislabeled. Extremely common.
Quite frankly it has a better chance of being a Adisak x Srakaew cross or a pachara delight pink or mikasa pink or a pink form of another modern coerulea hybrid than it would being a Pat's Delight.
Again, still very attractive.
If was a betting man I would say pachara delight pink form or princess mikasa pink; flower size would probably further narrow that down too.
