Dear all, Maniji was quite close. It is a vanda or ascocenda hybrid with a lot of V. coerulea in it but definitely not a pure V. coerulea. The plant looks like it is dehydrated. If it were me, I would have removed the spike to save the plant as flowers need a lot of water to maintain themselves and will further dehydrate the plant.
