    How large is the whole plant? The perspective in the photos makes the pot look quite a ways away.

    Beautiful flowers! As Kelly says, the color is really something else.

    I think this is also gokusingii even though it has been in the trade as merrillianum. I've never seen a true merrillianum in real life and only know of a couple in cultivation in North America.

    And I thought one can rely on the plants you buy fom Oii Leng family:(.

    Anyway here are some photos trying to reflect the difference between the leaves of my 2 plants.

    I'll refrain from making any comments about Ooi Leng Sun Orchids, but from the images it appears that you do have merrillianum and I was wrong. Congratulations!
