Well, it almost jumped into my basket.
I haven't had a phal for years, but I'm pretty confident it'll be happy.
I dunno if it's a growth stunted phal or a true mini, but I'm figuring growth stunted, due to short inflorescence and $10 price tag.

I guess by next flowering season, I'll know more about the size of the plant.

It's in that terrible tightly packed moss, but I'll just be careful with it till the flowers fall, then repot into something more bark based and drainage free.

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what it might be ? or are these typically seedling mix bags ?

Lovely blooms. Unfortunately, if there is no tag with name - there is no way to id it. It does remind me a noId phal I used to have:Orchid log: Blooming phalaenopsis

Yes, I rather figured that....oh well, it'll be my little orphan. Hope it doesn't mind all the dends, paphs, and oncs, and assorted others.

Oh, I found a little tag behind the big tag, it's labeled 'Cupid'...will have to google and see what I find.

I believe we have a cross name (Phal. Tying Shin Cupid)
