Phalaenopsis stuartiana
There are a lot of Phalaenopsis species but I think this one is my favorite. This is a seedling that is blooming for the first time and one that I got from Oak Hill last summer. I am not qualified to judge but I think the flower quality looks very good. Any judges who would like to critique it?

Looks great, Jerry 
I just love the little fangs at the bottom 
I'm checking mine hour by hour to see if any of the spikes have bloomed yet  |

Oh I can't wait to get mine! There have been so many recent posts about stuartiana that I'm having trouble staying on the ground!
Your's looks great. I'm certainly no judge, but I'd say the fullness of the bloom and the fairly heavy, well-defined spotting does indeed make this a lovely specimen. Although the faint spotting on some of the upper petals may detract in a real judging situation, simply because it's only a few spots on one or two other petals and disrupts the symmetry of the flower.
Sorry, I do have a habit of over-analyzing things. Bottom line, you have a gorgeous flower and should be extremely satisfied with it!

You are right Evan. That would probably be considered a fault. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. Thanks but I still like it.
