NOID Phal, any clues?
So I found this little phal or dtps, which I think is spectacular. To give you an idea of its size, its largest leaves are about 4.5 inches and the blooms are about 1.5 inches. It also has a mild, but lovely fragrance. I am just wondering if anyone has any ideas about its ID. Any clues would be great!

Good Ole Home Depot. Grown by Costa Farms. It seems they grow like 90% of tropicals for big box stores down here. |

Costa Farms or whoever made the cross is the only place you can get a correct name.

It's really really gorgeous!  I agree, Costa is probably the only ones that can ID it for you. Otherwise it'll stay a NOID.

Thank you all. I'm not expecting to find a definite ID here. I was actually just looking for clues into it's ID. So if anyone has seen anything similar to this phal I would be very interested in hearing about it. Or possibly your cousin's best friend may have just picked up my orchid's sibling, and with a tag.  Thanks again!
