Not sure whether i am allowed to post links, but if u search via a suitable search engine Phaleanopsis Brown Sugar there is several links & images very much like mine.

Is that a genuine orchid Id or just one used by an orchid nursery in the Netherlands???

No problem posting links. However when I search on "Phaleanopsis Brown Sugar" I get some completely different looking ones, as well as one or two that look like yours. I guess some of these pictures are mis-tagged somewhere. Not sure which ones but in my search more of them look like this (completely different) Phalaenopsis 'Brown Sugar'

Even if it does look like one of these, there are so many hybrids of Phals that look the same that you can't be sure. What I like to do is use a name for my own records (and so the NoID's don't feel left out not having a name) but have a marker on the tag which indicates it's a NoID and then if I post photos here I tag them as NoID rather than using the name.

I don't want others using my photos of something I'm not 100% certain of the name of to identify theirs... you can't be 100% certain without genetic tests and sometimes flowers look identical in pictures but not if actually compared to each other. I have two like that... they looks identical in pictures but in real life have completely different flower sizes and growth patterns. They are both different NoID Phals but in photos could be mistaken as the same thing.

On the other hand I have two I really can't tell a difference between when both in flower next to each other... but one is named and one is a NoID. I'm 99% certain they are the same thing, but still won't use the name for the NoID when posting pictures of it as I don't know for sure.

NoIDs are just as pretty as named Phals anyway

By the way, Brown Sugar is a registered hybird, it's parents are Tyler Carlson x Brown Penny, but I can't find pictures of Brown Penny and Tyler Carlson looks nothing like either yours or the Brown Sugar in my link so nothing to go on there.

Thanks Rosie
U r a mind of information

To be honest I'm not really bothered if my phals have an Id or not, it would be nice to know but its not the end of the world.
They r beautiful regardless....

Looks almost exactly like mine that I got from Home Depot. It is a noid as well.
