Phalaenopsis equestris x Renanthera monachica
The flowers are just about 2 cm., so it is easy to miss all the details unless they are seen under a magnifying glass or in a picture

Very interesting - are you growing it like a Phal or the Renanthera?

When i bought it, it was potted in bark and i just grew it alongside my Pahls. the first two years.
Last year i "repotted" it in a vandabasket with a few pieces of Epiweb and i think it seems to grow a bit better in this condition along side all my young/small vandas.

Renanthopsis Yuyake. Certainly not something you see every day. Nice spots. Thanks for posting.

Thank you, PaphMadMan
I have Googled to see if i could find a picture of this cross and only found one.
The flowers on that one was more pink and had stripes, not nearly as nice as mine is |

Its a very interesting combination. I like the colors and form. I have both parents and I didn't know they can be crossed.

I think crosses like this one is exiting, and the best part is that it is impossible to know exactly how the result is going to turn out.
Here is the only picture i have found of this cross on the net.
