Check my post above, I found they are Mokara.

I found names for a few pink vareities:
Mokara Charkuan Pink - http://www.rv-orchidworks.com/orchid...rchids-007.jpg
Mokara Bibi - http://www.colorful-orchids.com/imag...ra/mokara4.jpg
Mokara Chark Kuan Super - http://www.colorful-orchids.com/imag...ra/mokara7.jpg
Mokara Dinah Shore - http://www.colorful-orchids.com/imag...ra/mokara9.jpg
Mokara Pink Star - http://www.colorful-orchids.com/imag...a/mokara15.jpg

When looking for Mokara, ask orchid nurseries for pinkMokara or pink vandaceous orchids. Before buying one ot grow, go to the American Orchid Society website AOS | Home and download a culture sheet on Vandas. A culture sheet will tell you what your orchid needs, things like how much light, how warm or cool, how much water, etc., etc.
