Phal. Mount Lip 'FANGtastic' *Lots of pics*
I found this at the local garden center the other day! I was so happy to find it there, I love it! It is putting on such a fantastic display! Sadly I cannot do it justice with my photos. Recently my speedlight broke so I had to take these without a flash so I used a long exposure, and I was in a time pinch so I couldn't use a black background to fully do it justice, but it is what it is. I apologize that the photography is not up to my typical standards, I'm almost embarrassed to post these!
Anyways back to the plant, in it's height it had 19 blooms on one spike and the three branches coming off of it. ENJOY!!

Bob, I found one similar to yours, out of bloom, at a big box store. This is the first time I've seen it flower, then I saw your pics. Could they be the same, what do you think? Like so many of these mine didn't have a name tag so I took a gamble and I really like what I got.

Matt, yours looks like a mini phal with relatively large flowers.
Mount Lip is a much larger plant.
With white/pink color combination being so common, you can't really tell.
It is a nice small plant with good flower count though!
