Oh-no......came home with another Phal :0)
My partner and I went away for a few days last week. On the way back home we stopped off half way at a big garden centre, had lunch then had a good look round.
Of course I had to go take a peek at the phals they had to offer........and i fell head over heels for this one. Just had to have it. My partner thinks i'm nuts  He just rolled his eyes and said 'not another one'
Well............ I couldnt let this one go could i??? Its really rather lovely

You would be nuts to pass that one up! It is very nice! I haven't seen one like that here. Just fabulous!

Gorgeous.
It immediately reminds me of Phal Sogo Lovely, however the lip is different so it must be a lightly different hybrid. Wonderful harliquin hybrid.

Fantastic! Really like the dark purple/white contrast.
By any chance do you have the name of the hybrid? Either on a tag in the pot, or sometimes laser-printed on the side of the pot? Just curious what it is.

The red spot on the lip is very interesting. Don't think I have seen a harlequin show spotting on the lip before.

I just had a look at the flowers, and most of them have got markings on the lip. One of them is nearly all purple |

I have been doing a bit of digging around on the net and came across several references with pictures to a Phalaenopsis which looks just like the one I brought home with me called 'Brown Sugar'
Not sure whether i am allowed to post links, but if u search via a suitable search engine Phaleanopsis Brown Sugar there is several links & images very much like mine.
Is that a genuine orchid Id or just one used by an orchid nursery in the Netherlands??? |

Very nice. I love harlequin phal's. Each flower is a little different.  |
