They really look like P. amabilis, but the both sides of lip
is yellow, and the back of petal is light pink.
Maybe this is the reason why people forget this species.

Bulbo macranthum
Smell like Hami melon, the local nickname here is Hami melon Bulbo.
Some hair or straw(look-liked) around the stem.
Very funny one.

I think your poeple use another name for this fruit.
Well, it looks just like this pic I posted.A kind of sweet melon.
I also collected few Bubloes, but I found most of them were stinking,  after that, I focus on Phals, especially on amabilis.

Phalaenopsis sanderiana
This species is very close to P. amabilis or P. aphrodite.
The first time when I saw it, I thoght it was P. aphrodite, because the flower's color was so white,some people said the color will change according to the weather or the enviroment.
Recetly the local weather is so hot and dry, all the flowers has dropped, but I find there are few buds at the top of spike, later should be flowers again.
This plant can grow very huge, if you watch the leaves, the shap is different from the most P.amabilis.
On the edge of leaf's back is dark color, and the pike is very long, looks like a fishing rod.
