Really a very nice and wonderful cultivated plant, but not a Phalaenopsis speciosa, it is a Phalaenopsis tetraspis
Best greetings from Germany

Whether confirmed or not it is still in error. P. speciosa does not exist as a living entity. The plant awarded is P. tetraspis. It is quite unfortunate that Christenson is no longer around to straighten out the would-be Phal "experts".

I agree with you Dean. We have a discussion about this plant in the last days on Orchid Source. ;)

It is "Magnifico" whatever it's called. *SIGH*....I wish they would straighten this out/come to an agreement on this....like say...mmmmmm...bellina/violacea.....???

Whatever you choose to call it, it appears that it (this color form) breeds very differently than the typical form.
