    Default Species Phal from the Philippines (No ID)

    Hi. This is my first post under this forum. This is my only phal. It's been around forever. White flowers are borne on long slender spikes that sway at the slightest breeze.

    P. amabilis perhaps? although the blooms of this i have seen are more full, there is surely variation from plant to plant. Or maybe a varient of P. sanderiana

    Beautiful bloom. Would love see photos of the leaves and roots on a mature established phal.

    My first guess with the white color and lip markings/ "snake tongue" as i call it... was a Phal. aphrodite..but the stance is much different..yet the flat spade shape of the lip and the stance from the front and side looks like Phal. equestris...not to mention the slight pink blush on the petals..You said it was a species right? Could this be a natural hybrid perhaps? or if not natural, then man made hybrid? idk...what do the leaves look like?...my guess is (Phal. aphrodite X Phal. equestris)...
    good luck
