The monochromatic variety of Vanda merrillii : merrillii var rotorii. The real color is a bit darker that how it appears on the photos.

Beautiful colors on those, Philippe. How tall is this particular plant? Does it still have the intense fragrance of the standard type V. merrillii? Would you mind taking a picture of the whole thing, please?

Thanks Naomi and Steve.

Naomi, were you able to find a plant or are you still looking for ?

Steve, in fact the color is a bit darker but it is quite difficult to capture it in a good way. My plant is about 50 cm (20 inch if I'm right) but it is not easy to say because roots appear quite high on the trunk. It really looks like the standard type of merrillii including the long roots and fragance.
here some more photos,sorry qualities of those are not so good but will help to have an idea of inflorescence and how looks the plant :

Philippe, I am still looking for it, but based on the plant size ( thank you for posting it, BTW), it gets large, doesn't it? That will discourage me to get it since I just bought one big v. luzonica which ended up taking too much of my limited growing space.

I guess I will stay with the hybrid I have ( v. Gordon Dillon x v. merrillii ) for now.

Naoki, V. merrilli does get pretty large. The one in the picture below is over three feet tall (91+ cm), and as you can see, it requires its own window. If your V. luzonica produces any keikis, please let me know. I have two large merrillii plants, and both of them have multiple keikis in various sizes (some, I believe, are very close to being adults on the other plant that I have--now if I could only figure out a way to encourage them to produce their own roots!), and I would be interested in trading a couple of seedlings if you'd be up for it.

Steve, that is a beautiful & big plant. I absolutely let you know when I see a baby on my luzonica.
