The label on the left plant (in both photos) says Aerangis modesta. The plants on the right are Aerangis mysticidii. From orchid species.com, it would seem that modesta should bloom in the Spring and mysticidii, in the Fall. Since these three plants are all blooming now, and to me they all look the same, I am thnking they are all 3 mysticidii. What do you think???

If you see a slight difference in color, it is because the sun came out for the second photo. The first photo's light is a little cooler because of that.
 
My modesta are more starry, and of several seedlings, all are spring to very early summer bloomers. No sign of blooming now. My other Aerangis are in bud now.
Both are nice, I'd keep watering them, even if the left one is mis-labelled.
 
I would say you are indeed right... modesta has a much different lip.

I would keep watering them too!!!
 
I'm clueless, but I wanted to say:

I wish my pictures were as good as that. Absolutly outstanding!!!
