Quick Post: I bought this orchid a few weeks ago in the Sunday market. It was labelled
Aerides aff. odorata as the seller was not sure if it is
odorata. But they were certain it was propagated from plants collected in Palawan. It had an impending flower spike which I was not sure would push through blooming.
Today as I inspected my plants (which I have not done for a long time) this bloom surprised me with its delicate baby colors. Usually in specimens I buy with with flower spikes, blooming is aborted because of transplant shock. Apparently this plant is so eager to be identified in my collection. I am still not sure what
Aerides this is. It seems to have more yellow color than the usual
Aerides odorata flowers. It is too light to be an Aerides lawrenciae.

Very very nice! Pat, if you can propagate it, I'd love to buy an offset, if you are willing to part with one.
Really lovely color.
