My surprise mini finally opened a bloom!

And it's my favorite color <3 I was so excited

This one should be an easy ID, pretty sure it's one of those mass produced 'teacup orchids'. I bet somebody has this one. Anybody?

I got it while it was out of flower so it was a lovely surprise to see a bloom for the first time. I love it <3 it's beautiful!

Super cute! Congratulations on getting it to rebloom.

Unfortunately, since it's a phal, there isn't a strong likelihood of it being ID'd. The fact that they are mass produced actually makes them more difficult to ID, as there are so many that look a like. I actually have a mini that looks very similar which I got from Trader Joe's. Where did you get yours? Any chance of maybe contacting the nursery?

Phal. Sogo Yenlin Coffee.
It's not an accurate ID but is the closest I have come. I have this one. It blooms once a year, reliably so. Takes a good bit of abuse. Very tough little phal. One of my faves.

I have one that looks very similar that I got from Lowes earlier this year. I just fell in love with the color and the white edging really accentuates the color.

I thought it looked like Sogo Yenlin "Coffee", too. But I wasnt sure how common it was. I got it at Petco. It has to be my most vigorous grower. It just took off after I bought it. You can watch it grow.

Nice one!

I was just browsing around on the internet, and I think I found a very close match, Dtps. Sogo Yenlin! What do you think? Dtps. Sogo Yenlin 'Sweetheart' (Dtps. Sogo Vivien x Dtps. Sogo Berry)

I know we can never be sure, but it sure looks close to me!

No matter how close they look, you just can't ID NOID.
There are many mini phals that look almost identical.

With that said, I have this very similar, if not the same, mini phal in bloom.
I bought it in bloom for $9 at the Whole Foods a couple of years ago and it is blooming for the second time, and the best blooming ever!

I love this deep magenta colored phals.
and my little mini stays very small, reaching barely 3-4 inches aross the entire plant. love it!!!

Oh I know it can never be given a definite ID. I was just saying it can be called a "looks a lot like".
