Need help ID-ing a very special Phalaenopsis

[pasdonahue]

Hello everyone! I love the forum and I was hoping that your collective brain could help me ID this very special orchid.

You see my grandmother who raised me passed away this past summer and the day she passed her orchid re-bloomed. I desperately would like to get an orchid that is as close to identical as possible.

The information I know:
1. it was purchased in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in October 2016
2. it is a phalaenopsis of some kind

I did recently purchase a Brother Girl in hopes it would be the same, but alas the lines are too red and too thick. I also feel like the background is more yellow than in this no ID.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am so sorry about your grandmother's passing.

Many orchids, especially Phals, can have somewhat different color, spotting and veining depending on the temperature when the buds were developing. It is very common for harlequin and striped Phals to have different spotting striping on older versus younger flowers, which may have opened months apart.

There are so many similar hybrids it isn't possible to identify a plant from a photo. Many plants mass-produced for supermarket sales are never given names, just as chickens raised for meat are not named.

Your best chance at finding a name for your plant would be to contact the market where the Phal was bought, and see whether they can put you in touch with their supplier. If you follow the supply chain back to the grower, and provide a similar photo, they may be able to tell you the true name.

Good luck!

It might be best to carry around a picture in your phone and to look around in shops/stores that sell Phals. You may not find the same one right away but, hopefully, you will find it eventually.
Good luck!

There's a KV Beauty 'Golden Treasure' on Phal. KV Beauty 'Golden Treasure' (Salu Peoker x Chih Shang's Stripes) / Orchids.com that also looks close.
