Default Name my new orchid for me please?

I bought this beauty this weekend at a flea market in Augusta, GA for an incredibly cheap price. Does anyone know what its name is?

It has a large flower, about 3 1/2 to 4" across.





Thanks in advance if you can help!

It's a Phal but I don't know which one. I see one like that everytime I go to one of my fav orchid growers down here but I've never looked at the name, although the beautiful colors always make me look twice.
Do you have a pic of the whole plant?

Not yet, but I'm going to take one shortly, then I'll post it.

I'm sure it's a Phal...I just wondered what breed.

Here's a couple of pictures I just took of the full plant:





Thanks again!

These are pretty tough to nail down without the parents.
It appears to have Phal Golden Peoker in the background, perhaps as a grandparent. It is a very nice flower!

Yeah, I would say it definately has the Peoker in there.
I have an Everspring Prince X Golden Peoker that has much the same spotting but with a slightly yellow-er base colour.
There uis such an abundance of Peoker crosses out there that it's hard to nail down a pedigree.
There are some really nice Dtps. crosses too, that brought us some spotted floriferous beauties as well.

Nice orchid.
