Phalaenopsis Bellina x sib... supposedly
 
1 Attachment(s)
Well I picked this up at Peach State Orchids a few weeks ago, and it's bloom finally opened. It smells great, looks great, but appears just a bit "off" for a bellina. Looks more like violacea var malaysia to me. But really, who cares! I'll just have to find one that's a bit more "Bellina"
Enjoy!

Now I am not quite sure on this, one of the pros can chime in also, but I think that it could either be a Phal. Samera, or a violacea var. Sumatra, which is the variant with the solid magenta colour. Or it could be a hybrid between the Malaysian and Sumatran violacea. For now, I think it would be the safest calling it a Phal. Samera (violacea x bellina)

Beautiful! I love those fragrant phals.

Bellina in italian means 'pretty' and I would agree with the above posts that this is a pretty orchid. :)

whatever the name, i love the flower!

Agreed. It's looking more and more like a Phal Samera. There's gotta be some violacea in in somewhere. But, like I said... I dont mind a bit. Smells fantastic.

Definitely doesn't look like what I would expect from bellina. Gorgeous looking though!
