Very pretty little plant whatever it's official named.  |
The appearances are similar, but the appearance of the lip is a bit different. The coloration when I first saw it made me think of a hybrid named 'Psycho Bride' (Seriously - not a joke).
My point is similar to jkofferdahl's post. There are many hybrids that are look-alikes. You can't really identify from a photo, or probably from looking at the same plant in person.
If the name of an orchid hybrid is important to you, buy only only orchids with names on the tag, keep the tag, maybe even add a second tag to your plant "just in case", and keep records of your plants. I have many named/tagged plants, but I also have some that are not named (NOIDs) and I enjoy them and don't worry about them. I think of them as "The Sophronitis-like plant that Dave gave me", or "the white Phal from Marilyn that blooms each summer".
