My dad picked up this beautiful new Phalaenopsis from the Pacific Orchid Exposition in San Francisco last weekend, but it didn't come with a tag and he didn't get the species/hybrid name. Anyone know by looking at the pics?

It is gorgeous but you will never have a name for it. There are too many hybrids that look very similar to yours.

Enjoy it for what it is - a pretty Phal.

Really lovely choice your Dad made, but I'm afraid I agree with Booke in regards to getting an ID. Unfortunately there are too many similar looking phal hybrids to ever be sure, even if you found something similar looking.

The only thing that might get a positive ID is if your Dad knows the name of the vendor he bought it from. You might be able to contact them and they may be able to ID it.
