that's very elegant looking, i like the pastel flames on the lip.

Phal x intermedia is a naturally occurring hybrid that's what the x before the species/hybrid name indicates between Phal equestris and Phal aphrodite.

Naturally occurring hybrids are unusual enough that taxonomists let the hybrid name be spelled lower case, like a species name would appear. The x that precedes it indicates it's a natural hybrid.

It's a beaut, Nelson! My Phal aphrodite is blooming. If I get a chance tomorrow I'll snap a picture.

Have you built your equestris popuation back up to any degree?

Nope...that will have to wait.
