Default phalaenopsis - which one?

Hello,
I brought another phal from walmart and as usual the label just said "Phalaenopsis".
looking through the images of different hybrids I think mine looks like Brother Sara Gold.
Could you please confirm.
Thanks a lot

There is absolutely no way to confirm the ID of a NOID hybrid, unless it's very unique. While it does look somewhat like Brother Sara Gold (which doesn't have spotting like yours does), there is no way to know for sure especially since there are several other look alikes. What I do in cases like this is to give it the name of whatever it looks closest too, but keep the word NOID on the label. That way I remember what it looks like once it's out of bloom. So you could name yours Phal NOID Brother Sara Gold.

I agree with Camille, there is no way to know for sure even if it looked identical to Brother Sara Gold.

As Camille said, Brother Sara Gold doesn't have the spots, but even if yours looked identical you can't know for certain.

I give all my NoID's names. I have one that does look a lot like Brother Sara Gold and I have a * on the lable to indicate it's a NoID then I give it a name which is similar but not identical, so mine is "* Sara Gold" and I know that's a NoID. If I post pictures publicly I always state it's NoID, the name is just to help me remember which is which on my phals.
