Not too certainly about superba vs ostrina, would appreciate some advice on this.

Did they smell?

A faint sweet smell but nothing like the raspberry I often get for superba.

I would say C.ostrina, the flowers don't seem large enough and are tending toward deep-purple vs pinkish. C.supberba also has a more densely haired labellum. There are also known records of C.ostrina nearby. In saying that there is certainly a case for C.superba, I know the features I am using are not overly strong. Maybe see what facebook says.

Smell supports ostrina then I think
