Trouble Understanding Plant Label

[landanew]

I picked this guy up last year and never looked at the label. I am, just, getting around to cataloging him. It reads: Phal. ORCHID WORLD = Phal. Malibu Imp. #1 x Phal. Deventeriana 'Treva', AM/AOS. I assume that it didn't have a name when the label was printed. If that assumption is correct how do you find out what his name is? If the assumption is wrong then where do I go?

It means that your Phal's name is Phal. Orchid World, and the parents are (Phal. Malibu Imp '#1' x Phal. Deventeriana 'Treva' AM/AOS) Lovely little phal!

Here is the label.

I have never seen a label with the = sign as opposed to ().

That cross does make the hybrid Orchid World. I don't usually see an = sign either but I checked in Orchidwiz and it is a legitimate hybrid name. Your Phal looks similar to the ones shown in Orchidwiz also but the others seem to have a bit more colour in their spots. It might just be your photo tho and hybrids don't always look identical unless cloned.
Here is a link with the OrchidWiz page of your orchid Phal. Orchid World.
Phalaenopsis Orchid World

Thanks, to you both, for the help! Learn something new every day.

It's registered with RHS, minus the cultivar names. Here's the link to that;

Phal. Orchid World has (the last time I checked) the most AOS awards of any Phalaenopsis, with about 100 flower quality awards.

And the most memorable is probably 'Bonnie Vasquez'.

I found this guy at a small grocery / garden center in NC. He was on sale and in great shape.
