Raul (or anyone else) what you got for me?
Anyone know this cultivar/species for Phalaenopsis? Raul I know you grow orchids so you may have some clue. I've had it for several years, don't know where it came from and don't know anything about it except that it's my favorite phal., and I haven't seen another quite like it.

Mike, the picture is fine! It's a beautiful orchid, hopefully someone can help you!

With literally 1000's of hybrids of phaly's it would be extremely difficult to tell the cultivator without a name tag. Many come from China so its anyones guess.
What you could do is go to different orchid sites (like orchids.com, orchidweb.org?) and search through their inventories and reference material info untill you find a similar one. That would be my approach.
They are some of the most elegant and long lasting flowers and that is a nice one:gj:.
Sometimes if you cut a spike that is still alive(green) after flowers have fallen off you can get it to bloom again or make a keiki which is the formation of a new plant on the spike. You wait until it has grown a nice root system and cut it off and start another plant. If you have any other questions(that may bore everyone else:D) you can always PM or email me.

Here is link to the orchid society resource page (I think)

Click on web resources on that page, lots of good links

Yeah, I have a nice Dendrobium with several keikis on it. My interest mainly lies in miniatures though. I was just wondering if you'd seen a cultivar like it. In the years I've had it I've never seen one the same, in greenhouses or in pictures. I was hoping maybe in your orchid endeavors you may have seen something like it. Thanks though.
