I have seen this plant for sale on eBay from Kawamoto orchids in Hawaii I think. Their photos aren't so good of it, so your photo gives me a much better idea of what it looks like.
I don't know how they bred this thing without any spots. Just amazing.
Also: if you are a Phal killer, mount one. I'm serious. Find a suitable mount and stick it on there. I am also an overwaterer—I love to drench my plants, it makes me feel like I am doing something 'good' for them, if you know what I mean.
I mounted a discount Phal from Lowe's 'Table of Death' as one user put it. It was horribly dehydrated with floppy leaves and dessicated roots. I let the roots sit in water for a week, then strapped that thing to a piece of hickory bark with some sphagnum, hung it outside under a tree, spray it with the hose DAILY, and now look at it!

I got mine from Kawamoto
It wasn't listed as in spike so I was delighted when it came to see that it was
Thanks so much for the suggestion with my Phals and pics to illustrate. Yours looks great! I DO love them and feel so guilty that all I can manage to do is not kill them completely
I've been thinking of trying my hand at mounting ever since my leptotes bicolor came mounted and is doing so well. I would have to get something to hang them all from tho...something I could maybe attach to the wall? My space is really limited, but now you've got me thinking!
I've been trying to get more pics of the Brassia but we've been having terrible weather here (rainy/overcast for WEEKS), so lighting has been a real issue. When I try to supplement with the flash it's even worse. Ugh! The flowers really are gorgeous and it's frustrating for me to have such a difficult time doing them justice in a pic...when I do get some I'll gladly post them tho
Thanks RosieC!
