Phal NOID - Orchid Board

I found this little guy at a big box store near my home. I may go back and grab it tomorrow but I wanted your guys opinion on it. Possibly an ID too? I have never seen leaves like this guy and the blooms are gorgeous! Even the picture doesn't do it justice! let me know what you think and I'll take a vote to go and get him.

It possibly has Phal. stuartiana in it which has mottled leaves and spots on the flowers similar to that. There might be other types too, I don't know. Its lovely. Which box store did you find it at?? (Go get it first before you tell).

We don't have a Lowes, but I thought they didn't have orchids here in Canada. Wish we did have one. Maybe Home Cheapo would pull up their socks! However I did find named Oncidiums there recently. Way too much money but...

Home Cheapo

Thats much too funny! Haha. They have plenty of orchids where I live. Just Phalaenopsis and Cymbidiums during Christmas time. They did have Dendrobiums for a week or so last summer. Rainbow Greenhouses (Terrible Company based out of Chilliwack) are the supplier for all Walmarts, Homedepots and Costcos for both Indoor and most of outdoor plants here in Alberta and in British Columbia. When I worked for them they were planning on expanding to Saskatchewan so you never know!

I don't think it's an HP, but possibly a secondary, there's a strong stuartiana background (hence the leaves too).

I've had a go at the HP of stuartiana and there's one or two not far so I think there's something else beyond the HP.

Very nice one, how could you resist?

I am not sure what HP stands for if you don't mind explaining?

and I will be picking it up in the morning!
