    Very beautiful, Mietek. The last time you posted a picture of another clone (Mar 2010) and I wondered if it was a vandarum. This time I see that it is an alba form. But I think it may not be a P vandarum but P biswasiana especially with that prominent spur. At one time it was classified as an Aerides and named Aer biswasiana.

    Those flowers are so unique in shape.

    Its spur looks like an Aerides, leaves like Luisia, petals and sepals like Vanda.
