Pdox...
May i ask you something? the first picture is it an Violacea or an Bellina? Because this flower in the first pic looks similar to the one you posted as Bellina...
Thanks in advance...
Regards Jonathan

You have quite an impressive collection of Nepenthes! Looks like you've been bitten by the orchid bug too! Huhuhu just two weeks and already you've got some impressive orchids.
Oh ya, I noticed you capitalized the first letter of the names (title case). Just in case you don't already know, we do not capitalize the species name after the genus of an orchid. For example, Paph. lowii. This helps us distinguish if the name is of a species or otherwise. For hybrids, we capitalize the first letter, for eg. Phal. Penang Girl or Phal. Corning's Bell (corningiana x bellina). By the way, your venosa x violacea (aka Penang Girl) is gorgeous!! I'd love to have one.
Hope to see more photos and remember, resistance is futile! haha, soon you will have many more orchids in your collection. I am now quite hooked on hybrid phals myself, especially ever blooming Taiwan hybrids.
To answer your question above, that first one looks like bellina to me. Used to be known as violacea "Borneo" or violacea var. bellina but is now considered a separate species. Easy to tell apart from violacea mah, bellina very distinct. smells very lemony right?
