Help for ID on this little Phal? - Orchid Board

I got this cutie at a local Meijer store (sort of a glorified Walmart but has everything known to man!!), and all it said was "mini Phal". The blooms are about a bit over an inch across, and the biggest leaf on the plant is about 4 inches long, looks typical Phal in all respects. any thoughts??

It is so gorgeous!!

I love mini phals, and I love the white egde on the flowers.
But it will be next to impossible to get a positive ID of it. They are way way too many different phal hybrids. Did it have a label with a website? You might be able to trace it that way. I managed to ID 2 of my NOIDs in this way, because I was lucky enough that it was a small company and they listed all their products on the website.

I'm no orchid expert but is it really a Phal... the leaves I can see behind the flowers don't look like Phal leaves to me. Is it possible for you to post another picture showing more of the leaves?

I think those are just different plants in the background. This is definitely a Phal.

OK, the flowers look right, it was the leaves confusing me.
