Phal. Pink Panther
Here's one of my favorite Phals, Pink Panther! This is just a trade name though (looks nothing like the registered plant by that name) and I never figured out if it even has a proper name. Anyway, I love it. 
This is my best bloomer. It makes only a few blooms at a time, but blooms forever! Started flowering December 2008, and bloomed non stop off the existing spikes and some new spikes for over 2 and a half years!! Individual blooms, which are thick and waxy, last 4-6 months. It took a 6 month break, and then all the spike woke up again, either the tips or new side spikes. Now has 5 blooms on it (sadly a bunch of buds blasted), plus 3 keikis.

I have tried and tried, but no luck... This was a very common hybrid in Europe back around when I got it, and I just can't find any clues as to its real name, if it even has one.

Actually I've never seen a pic of the registered Pink Panther, but on Orchidwiz I can see the species that compose it, and none of them would give the blooms such heavy substance, nor the barring (32% schilleriana, 39% amabilis/rimestadiana, 16% sanderiana, 11% aphrodite, <2% stuartiana). Thus my conclusion that they are NOT the same plant.
