Phal. equestris 'B#100'

It's also a 4n, i.e. tetraploid, if I recall correctly.

What CJ & Cody refer to as "crapaloid"? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that it had been used quite a bit in breeding. Maybe not....

No, "crapaloid" is 3n, this is a tetraploid, 4n. I think, experts, correct me of I'm wrong, but a "crapaloid" can also be a 5n (or a 1n, too, if that's possible... I feel like it is, tho). It's when they have an extra set, it makes them sterile in some/most cases, etc.

Thanks Tin! Tiny as it is she's sending up a new spike already. It's maybe a few weeks from flowering.
