mottled leaf phal
This is my NOID phal from Walmart with its mottled leaves that have a nice purple hue on the underside.

That's really nice! 
The mottled foliage is primarily inherited from Phal. schilleriana...

You don't see that too often here on OB. Very cool plant. Thanks for sharing!

There are a few mottled leaf Phals...schilleriana, stuartiana and philippinense come to mind.

I think I have this same NOID phal - very attractive mottled leaves w/purple tint underneath, and a pretty two toned flower. This is my 'ol reliable - sends out long branching sprays that last 4-5 months, works on a new leaf for a month then starts another spike. I seems to be in bloom constantly!
You made a good choice  |

Foliage like that, I could live without the flowers! OK, not really, but its so nice to have an added bonus with a phal whose leaves are generally rather bland.
