Phal. Taida Sunshine, interesting bloom
Phal.Taida Sunshine (Phal. equestris 'Martel's Blue x Phal. tetraspis alba).
I purchased this beautiful plant from Sapphire Dragon orchids in spike and here is the beautiful bloom. 
On a lighter note, take a close look at the flower, to me it looks like an alien female dressed for a formal evening, it even has a light perfume in the evening. |

That is beautiful Luckygrower! I love the purple lip and spots! Well done. 
I wasn't thinking alien when I looked at that second photo...I actually thought that it looked kind of like an angel. Ummm...I think that there is a line of thought our there in Sc-Fi land that angels are aliens...does that fit?  |

Nice flower. The color is great and so is the shape - especially for a primary equestris hybrid.

Gorgeous Phal! I love it. The spots and the lip just take it over the top for me. Not to mention the color.

Thank you all for the comments.
irphrog..I was very surprised by the photo with the light shining through, I am just learning about photographing plants and that photo was an accident.
