This is a first-bloom Doritaenopsis hybrid.
Dtps. Ching Hua Magic x Dtps. Hsinying Heart
It is bred from the so-called Harlequin line, originally created from a mutation in the mericloning process.
One of the hallmarks of Harlequins is that each flower on the inflorescence tends to be unique from the rest, with subtle differences in patterning as well as form. In this seedling the first flower to open was the best.
I'm not sure if I even like it all that much. It's like having a 2-headed dog: a novelty, but ultimately a sideshow freak.
