    Default Is this Phalaenopsis equistris?

    I spotted this flower at the nursery and it was growing at an elevated height at around 8 feet in their phalaenopsis shed. If I had not looked up to see if its drizzling, I would have missed it. There is no tag to it but it looks very much like a phalaenopsis equistris. Anyone can verify?

    It looks like it has equestris in it, but appears to be a hybrid and it is peloric. Cool flower .

    Your plant is probably a peloric form of a primary hybrid of equestris, like Phal. Mahinhin (Phal. lueddemanniana x equestris) for example ... ?
