Phalaenopsis Glow the Beauty Inside?
Got this cutie at Trader Joes two weeks ago. Its about 7 inches tall, with the pot, and the leaves are maybe 5 inches long. Anyone know if Glow the Beauty Inside is a trade name for the company or if it goes with this orchid? Thanks.

I could not find this name on the International Orchid Registry, sadly. Its a beautiful flower, though!! I cannot remember the name right now, but there is a species that is small like that with a dense flowering habit... ooooh...my old brain can't remember and its driving me nuts!
Doritis pulcherrima!!!!!!!!!!! Thats it! I bet it has some of this plant's genes.
I bet there is equestris in there too. |

I would agree, it does have equestris like sepals and lip.
