Here are some whites, all mini's. The last is Phal Desert Heat, while the others are NOID's.

The second one looks a lot like my phal I-Hsin Amy 'Chiayi' (Phal. Nobby's Amy x Phal. Freckled Cherub). It's a charmer! I posted a picture of it on OB last summer if you want to take a look.

Any chance I could get you to find the thread and post the link? Remember, I'm somewhat lazy and orchidly compromised!!!!!

OK, found it...and how sure are you of the correct name.... probably as sure as any of us would be with phal names

P.S.: Anni, sure or not THANKS... and for now I would have to agree they look identical and so mine now has a name, thanks to you

BikerDoc---I am as sure as the label that was sticking out of the pot when I bought it!! Seriously, I bought it from a grower, so I'm reasonably sure that the label is accurate.
Mine actually had a keiki when I bought it so I will soon have TWO charmers to enjoy!

Well, here's the thing. I just went out to the GH and found that mine isn't a NOID after all.... My tag reads, "Phal Long Pride Amy". As many of you may know Long Pride is a very old orchid name in Taiwan. If you go to their website, Welcome To Long Pride Orchids Nursery you'll find at least 3 or 4 different Phal Long Pride Amy and even a Phal Nobby's Amy. They give each a number code which must relate to their mericlone or whatever. What is interesting is that the Nobby's Amy and looks just like Long Pride Amy and yet they have an almost white flower labled Long Pride Amy.... bottom line: Hybrids are near impossible to know because looks like there isn't any nomenclature standard for the hybrids.... and maybe there is but I'm not well read enough to know any better...

I like Anni's plant as well as mine and for me that is the most important thing about these chids!

Absolutely beautiful. I love the colors and freckles. Your lucky to have such nice mini Phals.

Ooooooo. I love the second one. All pretty, but that one makes me add yet another to my wish list!
