Default Phalaenopsis leaves changing pattern

Hello everyone, so I have a bit of a weird question. Has anyone had a phal that changed leaf patterns? The reason I'm asking is because I have this odd little hybrid here, that may be a schilleriana or stuartiana cross, not sure which one, but it is starting to resemble some one of species because of the leaf pattern. The funny thing is that when I bought her she has almost completely green leafs only a few spots that I thought, back then, they were some kind of damage, and now she is putting a new leaf with an even bolder pattern and red underside. I'm just curious if anyone has seen or had something similar before or has any thoughts, impressions, opinions. Thank you

Looks normal to me. Mine look red coming in and new growth is always brighter.

Yes, I would say that the spots lighten as the leaf gets older. I have the red on the leaves if they are in higher light and also the darker colored blooms sometimes have more red in there leaves. Pretty bloom.

Your plant is perfectly fine. The mottling is very natural, as is the red. A lot of Phals show similar patterns.

Well yes I know my plant is fine, she dose not seem to be sick, but I guess I was secretly hoping that as she ages she'll resemble more and more one of the species so that is why I asked, because I thought that maybe someone had a hybrid that over the years started resembling one of her "ancestors" . Thank you so much for your answers,

I have a similar looking orchid named Phalaenopsis Magic Art which I found out has a tendency to switch background color on the flowers and the leaves do get the same purple hue. Very healthy and normal.
