Comment: bought under V. laotica is a warm-hot Vietnamese native 100-1200 M.  Quaint 4-5cm lightly blushed flowers with a smooth lilac (hence the name) fragrance  in the morning which goes to rose-gardenia in the afternoon and then to Jasmine into the early evening hours. The Mature plants are small for a Vanda species and this young blooming is from a plant with a mere 4" leaf span.  See another photo.
