Are we allowed to see what the plant looks like?

[charmbutterfly]

Hmm Phal. sumatrana?

Wellll...thanks a lot, Dennis! In looking for what this one might be, I have now added about 6 Phals that I must have to my list!



Whatever yours is...it's gorgeous!

I suppose I will have to whip out my Phalaenopsis a Monograph

Reminds me of Yellow Princess 'Pine Ridge 2' but your blooms looks like a species cross, like amboinensis. . .hmmmmmm, gonna have to keep mulling.

Looks kinda like a Phal. I-Hsin Peacock 'Fashion' HCC/AOS, too. . .but yours has fewer spots, more yellow.

[charmbutterfly]

Is it Phal. salu spot? gosh this is hard lol

[gmdiaz]

I've got the Salu 'Water Spot". . .I don't think it's that one. . .it's got something more exotic in the mix.

This is driving me nuts.

Hey! Is this one of those freak genetic mutations Orchidhunter talks about on his blog? Like a Phal. x Frog or newt or some such.

[Mahon]

This is a tough one... it does look to be a primary hybrid.
I have a question though... what makes it 'rare'?

Keeping with what was said, I'll go with
Phalaenopsis doweryensis x Phalaenopsis amboinensis
Though I am quite certain it's wrong!
