Just found this little beauty in a local grocery store! Its a primary hybrid between Doritis pulcherrimum and Phalaenopsis equestris. The flowers are small but such a vibrant colour!

Oh Todd, that's very pretty. The color is fantastic, and I love the looks of anything with equestris in it. Good find!

I believe Hauserman Orchids has this one also.

Very nice!

Nice find!! Wish I had local grocery stores like that! That colour is a knock-out. Spectacular plant.

Hausermann's does carry this. I just got one last week. Mine has a spike with buds, but not quite ready to open yet.
