Variegated Phal

[ebrookmi]

First bloom on this seedling variegated phal, the tag says "Phalaenopsis Wang Fei" but I couldn't find anything under this name. It looks to me like the plant registered as Phal. Sogo Vivien, but no way to be entirely sure.
The vendor I purchased this from brought it, and others like it, back from one of her routine visits to China, so Wang Fei could be the Chinese name for the same plant - but not sure!
Cute either way Enjoy!

When I first saw the flower, Sogo Vivien was the first thing to come to mind. In Asia, the names of orchids get changed frequently, whether by accident or deliberately. So it doesn't surprise me that you encountered this. Here's an article delineating the problem.

The variegation on this one is much more noticeable than on most Sogo Viviens sold in the US. It's really dramatic.
