Very nice. The flowers of this species resemble those of some Aerides species to me.  |

Thanks everyone !
Carl, yes this species looks very close to some Aerides species and I was a bit sceptical about the ID but the flowers match with Rhynchostylis retusa, especially the spur.
Nenella, here is a photo of the whole plant. In fact, there are 2 mounted plants who can be seen in this capture.

Thanx for your post and the excellent picture. I now am able to positively identify a vanda that I have that lost it's tag years ago in a hurricane. |
