Check if yours is fragrant! Mine had a light floral scent in the daytime that was very charming. I love how the colors seem to change depending on the lighting too. Such a splendid Phal 🙂 Thanks for sharing. Hope you can figure out the weird tag ID haha.

Oh geez !!!!! Edew --- that is the exact same flower!!! Incredibly happy that you posted those photos here to share. That's truly the same one! I love those photos you took. I didn't expect that - took me by surprise. Your photographs are extremely nice.
You are right. The flower colour is quite remarkable depending on the lighting. The lip can become quite a brilliant purple/violet. And those two purple vertical side-lobes makes the look even more attractive and interesting. Great choice.
I will smell those flowers and report back later! If I ever do find out (with any stroke of luck) a name for this one, then I'll definitely post the name here, and even send a message to you in the messaging system. Thanks again!

UPDATE: I wasn't able to detect any fragrance, but I'm sure that there will be some at certain times of day. My growing area is a little breezy sometimes too.
