Equestris!
My Phanaenopsis Equestris is blooming  it has a second spike that hasn't opened yet, so this should be in bloom for quite a while. |

Are you sure it is Phal. equestris?
It looks very very different from my Phal. equestris and pretty much like an hybrid. I am not sure of the size of your flowers but somehow they look much bigger than equestris and both petal shape and color do not match with what I know as equestris.
But it IS really beautiful! This is a point I will not argue.

It's very pretty, pink and yellow/orange is such a nice color combo!! Looks like a small plant?
I'm very certain though that this particular Phal is not Phal. equestris, it looks nothing like the species (I have 4 of them at home). Rather, what you have is a complex hybrid that looks like it may have some equestris somewhere in its parentage.

Oh dear. Well, that's definitely not equestris, but it's not OP's mistake as apparently there was a supplier error to some commercial greenhouses. This person here appears to have the same orchid that was sold to them as equestris. https://orchideliriumblog.wordpress....hal-equestris/ |

Yeah you guys are totally correct!
I purchase this guy from Larry's Orchids a little over a year ago, and after doing a bit of research I discovered that his supplier mislabeled a bunch of the plants.
Draft ^^^ I believe that we read the same article

Yes it is a very small plant! The flowers are probably no bigger than a half dollar. |

Really pretty even if it's not equestris. Has any of the research turned up what it actually is, or is it an unknown?

Cool. Even if it isn't equestris.
