Unknown beautiful phal - Orchid Board

So the other day I was browsing the local nursery, and they had a beautiful phal catch my eye. The problem is, theres no ID, and its part of a gift basket dealie for way too much money for me to justify buying it just for this one phal.

I am hoping someone here can point me to one like it... the photo does not come close to doing it justice, and it is one of the better photos I have taken.

I am worried I am going to have to go back and just buy everything for this one phal... its so beautiful!

It's a type of harlequin Phal, which is just a name for that sort of color pattern. There are so many hybrids like that so it will be impossible to find a name. On the flip side, because there are so many hybrids like that, you have a pretty good chance of finding one elsewhere. I regularily see similar looking Phals in supermarkets or my local garden center.
