Newbie need assist with Phalaenopsis ID
OK,
So here goes with my first post. I was walking through Lowe's, minding my own business, when I passed by the orchid display. Mildly interested I looked over the offerings and saw this one in a 4" pot and at first could not believe what I saw. I picked it up and yes, there are two different orchids in the same pot. The one in the background is a phal NOID, but I am more interested in the white one. It is nearly totally white with just a small yellow orange colored spot on the tip of the column. The lip is also white and quite large. The leaves are skinny and pointed at the ends. There are two spikes and they each are as big as a number two pencil. Also at each node a leaf is forming. The pot is identified as Phalaenopsis In Tropictropic and that's it. I have done an extensive internet search, and am at a loss. Any help would be much appreciated. I don't need a full scientific name if that is even possible. Just, is this a Phal, and if not what is it? I call it my Snow White.
