Need to have this orchid identified
 

Hi! I'd like to know the name of the orchid in the picture (if it has a name). I know it's a Phalaenopsis but I don't know if it has an specific name.

I'd also like to know where I can get this orchid but, just to clear it up, I want it with red spots on it. I've seen it in many places but the ones I've seen are white with purple spots. I want the one with red spots. I'd be very grateful I anyone could help me with this. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There is a thread in this forum about it
here is the link

Hope it helps

Thanks for your help. From what I read, it seems that the closest one to the orchid in the picture would be Yu Pin Pearl from Hausermann, but I can't find it on Hausermann's website. I'm not really interested in the name, what I really want to know is where I can buy some of those, especially in Europe because I guess the shipping costs from the States would be quite expensive although I'm willing to pay for it if I can find this orchid only there.

You won't be able to order from the USA without spending lots of money on all the permits and certificates that are needed to bring a plant in from outside of Europe.

I'll check some of the many EU vendorsI know for you

I found this: Dtps Taiwan Butterfly

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your taking time finding this link for me. I had seen the one you found but I think, or at least it seems to me, that all the spatter thing is purple instead of red. I need the red one. What do you think? What colour do you think it is?

Is it your photo or someone elses? A lot of difference in color comes from lighting and computer monitor issues

I have a Sogo that looks like that. It is yellow with red spots. I googled Sogo white and red spots and got Sogo Melody. Phal. Chian Xen Pearl x Phal. Yu Pin Pearl (the same Yu Pin Pearl you mentioned but this is a cross).

Camera quality and screen setting change color a lot, for certain colors. I think most are the same hue; a dark rusty red with a tinge of purple. Honestly, I think that if you really want such a specific color, you should keep an eye out at local stores. I regularly see spotted orchids like this, either at supermarkets, garden centers or home improvement stores. With some patience you should be able to find one that way.

A lot of plants photos at stores on the Internet are heavily digitally altered (photoshopped), and don't show the true colors.
