I am pretty sure this is not Vanda alpina. This is either Vanda griffithii or Vanda cristata. I can see three lobes on the front of labellum.

Cant confirm the id from these pics.

Does not look like Vanda griffithii but could be V. cristata.

Some more images!

Thank you Dr. Kumar !

Respected Sir

I am not sure. Alpina has no points at the tip of labellum.

It is better to have fully open flowers.
