Not sure which subforum to put this in because it's a most likely either equestris or a hybrid containing it. These flowers are small...maybe an inch across. Anyway, I love it. Two branching spikes, healthy roots, and big roundish leaves.

I should probably repot since it is in the evil moss (doesn't dry out fast enough in my conditions) but I might hold off for a few weeks in case it doesn't take repotting well and all the blossoms die off.

Not great pics but all I have is my phone and I don't have the patience to keep retaking pictures for better results :P

That's a great find. Never seen such a cluster of Phal blooms before.

Lovely! Looks like equstris might be somewhere in the parantage. They can get clusters of small flowers.

Thanks everyone. I'm really glad I found it. I check the orchids at Trader Joe's periodically but usually don't leave with anything since I try to practice some self-control. Hehe. I think another woman that was looking at the plants wanted this beauty and would have snatched it up if I had put it down...she didn't get the chance to swoop in.

Almost picked up one of those dendrobium kingianum-esque orchids the other day but it was too similar in color to the kingianum I already have...a woman did swoop in and take that one.

I just saw one at my TJ's, too. Did not pick it up.

I saw one like that today at Walmart! So cute. I wanted it because small things surrounded by bigger things remind me of myself. But I don't think the price is doable at the moment for a single plant (and also space is an issue).

I would have swooped it up. I see equestris as well.
