Three Phals Without A Name
 

A friend was kind enough to give me three beautiful plants he bought at Home Depot. No labels, intergenerics. Can someone help me ID the orchids?

Very pretty! I have a spotted phal with the same magenta coloring as yours! Would love to hear what others think it might be!

I'm afraid most unidentified Phals will remain that way. Even if you find similar looking ones they can't be 100% identified as the same because there are so many that look identical to each other in the mass market.

Some few do have identifiable characteristics which are not found in the mass market ones. Your last one is the most likely of the 3 to fit that category, but I'm afraid I don't know what it might be myself, or even for certain if it's an identifiable one.

They are just as pretty without a name though :) Most of my phals are NoID.

Phalaenopsis noidum var. something something 'Home Depot'

Oo I love that spotted one!
What a great friend!

Hybrids, yes. Intergenerics, no. Intergeneric hybrids are created by crossing plants from different genera. These are crosses within the genus Phalaenopsis.

The first orchid is lovely :) I also have a spotted phal like yours. Mine is also NoID

Thanks. There is one intergeneric in the bunch, but I didn't post the picture because it came with a label. I collect mostly species, but who can resist beauties like these?
